China has refrained from officially responding, saying it is the same no matter who it is on the outside.

However, watching the results of the U.S. presidential election, they are paying close attention enough to determine the size of the economic stimulus.

China's state-run CCTV broadcast correspondents from Pennsylvania, one of the biggest contenders.

Xinhua and other news agencies have highlighted negative aspects such as fears of terrorism around polling sites and huge campaign costs.

Since there is no election in a country, there is bound to be a limit to state media coverage, but the atmosphere of SNS is quite different.

On Weibo, the hashtag "U.S. presidential election" has 16 billion views and more than 4 million comments.

Online voting was also conducted with more than 30,000 people, with 74% "betting" former President Trump's victory.
