U.S.-China trade relations discussed with CNBC by Clete Willems following the election

In a recent interview on Squawk Box Asia, Gump public law and policy partner Clete Willems shared his insights on the future of U.S.-China relations, regardless of the U.S. presidential election outcome.

According to Willems, the United States' relationship with China will remain more or less status quo. He predicts that a potential Biden presidency would involve less unpredictability in policies, with no sudden announcements of tariffs. The overall trajectory of U.S.-China relations would remain similar under a Biden presidency, Willems asserts.

However, China will have to deal with the predictability of a potential Biden presidency, Willems suggests. He believes that if former Vice President Joe Biden wins the election, he will be constrained by the political environment and will likely not revert to some of the China positions he held in the past that some saw as relatively weak.

Willems stated that being tough on China is what unifies a polarized nation in the U.S. This sentiment was echoed in a CNBC.com article titled "Being tough on China is what unifies a polarized U.S., former trade negotiator says."
