Pakistan, Dec. 11 -- The United States elected Donald Trump as its 47th president. The future of the US-China relationship under Trump has been a contentious issue. The US and China have one of the most significant bilateral partnerships in the world, which affects not only the welfare of these two but also the rest of the globe, regardless of who is in the White House. Cooperation is required in this situation and is not a choice.

The recent border agreement between India and China marks a significant diplomatic breakthrough, especially considering the heightened tensions between the two sides following the Galwan Valley clash in 2020. Reached after years of negotiations to resolve a military standoff that began in eastern Ladakh, the agreement is a testament to the complex yet critical nature of bilateral ties between the two Asian giants and appears to have thawed the otherwise fraught relationship.

The just-concluded U.S. election was a dramatic showdown in more ways than one, leaving observers on edge as both a Republican and a Democratic win seemed equally plausible. Ultimately, Donald Trump clinched an unexpectedly decisive victory, securing both the popular vote and an Electoral College majority.
