Chinese Adviser Says Joe Biden Could "Start Wars", called him "Very Weak President"

 World News: China must drop its illusion that its relations with the US will automatically improve under President-elect Joe Biden's administration, a Chinese government advisor has said, adding that Beijing should be prepared for a tough stance from Washington.

Zheng Yongnian, the Dean of the Advanced Institute of global and Contemporary China Studies, a Shenzhen-based think tank, has said that the Chinese government should utilise every opportunity to fix ties with the US, South China Morning Post has reported.

"The good old days are over... the cold war hawks in the US have been in a highly mobilised state for several years, and they will not disappear overnight," Zheng said in an interview on the sidelines of the Understanding China Conference in Guangzhou recently.

Zheng, who attended a symposium hosted by President Xi Jinping in August to offer advice on China's long-term strategy, said there was now a bipartisan consensus within the US on containing China.

Zheng said President-elect Joe Biden might make the most of the public resentment towards China after he entered the White House. "American society is torn apart. i don't think Biden can do anything about it," Zheng said.

"He is certainly a very weak President, if he can't sort out domestic issues, then he will do something on the diplomatic front, do something against China. If we say Trump is not interested in promoting democracy and freedom, Biden is. (President Donald) Trump is not interested in war... but a Democratic President could start wars."

The relationship between China and therefore the us have deteriorated under President Trump over a range of reasons, including the Covid-19 handling, trade and human rights.

Over 300 separate Bills targeting China are involved by both Democrats and Republicans within the Congress, and therefore the important ones addressing the catastrophes in Hong Kong and Xinjiang enjoyed full bipartisan support. the foremost potentially effective law, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which Trump only reluctantly signed, was co-sponsored by Republican Marco Rubio and Kamala Harris, the Democrats' Vice-President-elect.

Chinese foreign policy specialists have said they expect tensions between the US and China to continue under the Biden presidency.

At times during the election campaign, Biden took a tough line on China, calling Xi a "thug".

His campaign also signalled that he will call out China on its repressive policies within the far western region of Xinjiang.

Wang said China remained resolute in protecting its sovereignty and hoped the next US administration would "meet China halfway".

Donald Trump accused of sexual assault by former model Amy Dorris

 Amy Dorris told Britain's The Guardian that Trump sexually assaulted her in his VIP suite at the US Open tennis tournament in new york -- claims he denied via his lawyers.

A former model has accused President of United States Donald Trump of groping and forcibly kissing her in 1997 -- the newest allegation made against the Republican incumbent just weeks before he seeks reelection.

Amy Dorris told Britain's The Guardian that Trump sexually assaulted her in his VIP suite at the US Open tennis tournament in new york -- claims he denied via his lawyers.

"He just shoved his tongue down my throat and i was pushing him off. and then that's when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything," Ms Dorris said in an interview.

"I was in his grip, and i couldn't get out of it," she added.

Trump has faced more than a dozen allegations of sexual misconduct, including a claim by prominent American columnist E. Jean Carroll that he raped her in a department store changing room in the mid-1990s.

But he brushed them aside in his run for the White House.

Shortly before the 2016 election, a tape emerged from 2005 in which he was heard boasting about how his fame allowed him to "grab" women by the genitals when he wanted.

Trump dismissed this as "locker room banter" but subsequently apologized.

Dorris was 24 at the time of the alleged incidents. Trump was 51 and married at the time to his second wife, Marla Maples.

The accuser provided The Guardian with several photos showing her in Trump's company, and multiple people corroborated her account, saying she told them at the time.

She says she told Trump to stop but "he didn't care." She added: "I felt violated, obviously."

Asked why she continued to be around Trump in subsequent days, Dorris responded: "That's what happens when something traumatic happens -- you freeze."

But Trump's attorneys told the newspaper that her version of events was unreliable and there would be other witnesses if she had been assaulted.

They suggested in comments to The Guardian that the allegation might be politically motivated, coming weeks before Trump faces Joe Biden in the November 3 election.

Dorris, now 48, said she decided to come forward to be a role model for her teenage twin daughters.

She first told The Guardian her story quite a year ago, but asked the newspaper to not publish it.

"I'm sick of him getting away with this," Dorris said.
