In the same information, Xinhua also points out that Chinese Vice President Han Zheng also called the elected Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, although he does not offer details about the conversation between the two.

Even so, Chinese analysts believe that the bilateral relationship, regardless of whether Trump or Harris won, would continue to be marked by protectionist tensions and tariff measures.

Relations between the two countries deteriorated drastically during Trump’s first presidency (2017-2021) with collisions in plans such as commercial, diplomatic or technological and, already with Joe Biden in the White House, the tension was rekindled with rifirrafes on behalf of Taiwan or by restrictions on exports to China of semiconductors and other key technology.

In 2018, after coming to power for the first time, Trump imposed several batches of tariffs on Chinese products worth about 370 billion dollars a year, about three quarters of the Asian giant’s exports, to which Beijing responded with reprisals against US exports.

During this campaign, the Republican said he will apply rates of up to 60% to Chinese goods, which augurs more trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.
