The midterm elections in Washington are set to determine the balance of power in the US Congress, with implications for international relations, particularly with China. The current Republican majority in the House of Representatives is under threat as Democrats campaign aggressively for control. Analysts suggest that regardless of the election outcome, President Donald Trump may continue his approach to stabilizing ties with Beijing. However, if Republicans lose control of the House, the framework of "strategic stability" between Washington and Beijing could face significant challenges. A Chinese academic has warned that other Republicans might pose the greatest risk to Sino-American relations in Trump's administration. The elections, scheduled for Tuesday, are seen as a critical moment for shaping the future of US foreign policy. The outcome will influence how the US engages with global partners, especially in the context of ongoing geopolitical tensions. The race for congressional seats is not just a domestic issue but a key factor in determining the direction of US-China relations.
