Democrat or Republican? No matter which party enters the White House, China wants to continue improving Sino-U.S. relations.

"We hope, no matter which party comes into power, or who will enter the White House, Sino-U.S. constructive and cooperative ties would further develop," said Qin Gang, spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on Tuesday.

This conforms to the fundamental interests of the two peoples and trends of the time, Qin added.
