China social media embraces Trump after Harris steps into race


WASHINGTON: US Vice President Kamala Harris (pic right) became a trending topic on Chinese social media, with users betting her bid for the Democratic presidential ticket would return Donald Trump (pic left) to the White House.

The American election dominated the top four slots of China’s X-like Weibo platform early Monday (July 22), as China awoke to President Joe Biden’s departure from the 2024 race. The "Biden exit” hashtag had been viewed 370 million times by noon, while the "Harris praising Biden” topic garnered some 57 million hits.
