The 2016 US presidential election came to an end on the 9th. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and was elected as the 58th president of the United States.
Preliminary statistics show that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on the 9th and was elected as the 58th president of the United States.
The American presidential election adopts the indirect electoral system of electoral college system. Statistics as of the early morning of the 9th show that Trump has won more than 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. Although the mainstream media in the United States and various polls before the election were obviously optimistic about Hillary, voters expressed different voices with votes. In addition to winning all his dominant States, Trump also won Wisconsin, one of his rival dominant States. In addition, Trump also won more votes than Hillary in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other "swing states".
Hillary called Trump in the early morning of the 9th to admit defeat. Trump thanked the supporters after winning the election. He said: "I look forward to being your president very much, and I promise I won’t let you down." He also said that the national infrastructure will be rebuilt and called for unity between the two parties.
Darrell West, a scholar at the Brookings Institution in the United States, told Xinhua that "Trump’s victory shocked experts." The white blue-collar and rural population with poor economic prospects voted enthusiastically, which was a major reason for Trump’s victory. They generally believed that the United States had been in the wrong direction. A middle-aged voter named Fan Deng told Xinhua: "This election campaign is very ugly and negative. I am glad that this election campaign has ended." Businessman Rajo said: "I voted for Trump. I believe that he will bring changes to this country. " Hillary supporter Jacquelin told reporters: "This is the last thing I want to see, but this is the status quo in the United States. People’s dissatisfaction with American politicians has reached such a high level. "
During this election, the competition between Hillary and Trump was unprecedented. Hillary was involved in scandals such as the "mail door" and the Clinton Foundation, while Trump was controversial because of his racist and sexist remarks, huge tax avoidance scandals and the operation of foundation donations. The two men’s election campaign, which is mainly based on personal attacks, has seriously torn American society and aroused widespread concern in the international community. This election was called "the ugliest and most divisive" presidential election in recent decades by American media. Before the election, US Secretary of State Kerry admitted that the election process humiliated the United States overseas.
According to the procedure, the new president will be sworn in on January 20, 2017. Trump’s top priority after taking office is to unite the country and repair his image. At the same time, he will face a series of domestic and international challenges such as weak economic growth, widening gap between the rich and the poor, intensified ethnic conflicts and worrying anti-terrorism security. It is reported that the preliminary statistics released by the American media on the 9th show that it is a foregone conclusion that the Republican vice presidential candidate and Indiana Governor Mike Pence will be elected as the new vice president of the United States. On the 8th, the United States also held the re-election of 34 senators and all 435 members of Congress. According to preliminary statistics, the Republican Party has maintained its control over the House and Senate.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang said on the 9th that China looks forward to working with the new US administration to promote the sustained, healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations for the benefit of the two countries and the people of the world.

Trump’s "surprise" and Hillary’s "shock"
In the early morning of the 9th Eastern Time, the counting of votes in the presidential election, which lasted for a whole day, finally came to fruition. When Donald Trump boarded the podium of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, new york, as the president-elect, and delivered his victory speech, the supporters who were hit by the "surprise" could not help but be excited, and many even cried with joy.
Not far from here, in the Javits Exhibition Center, Hillary Clinton’s supporters are trying to get rid of the dizziness after the "shock", and many people are in tears, which makes it difficult to accept the election results.
Just one day before the voting began, the last poll conducted by the mainstream media showed that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had 268 "iron votes", and only two votes from the swing state were enough to be elected as the new president of the United States. Trump of the Republican Party, on the other hand, has only 204 "iron votes". If he wants to be elected, he will not only keep the traditional fortress state of the Republican Party, but also get electoral votes from almost all swing states. This is almost impossible from the situation before the election.
Election day is a big day in this country. The TV station set up the stage in Times Square in the center of new york early, and the eye-catching map showed the progress of counting votes. On the big screen of the tall building around the square are huge photos of the two candidates, as well as the real-time rolling progress of the state vote counting. The square is crowded with people full of expectations, and many armed policemen, including the mounted police.
The winning Hillary Clinton team rented the spacious Javits Exhibition Center as the venue for the winning party on the evening of the 8th. At one time, it was originally planned to set off fireworks on the Hudson River. The Trump team rented the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan. Although the venue was not as rich as the opponent, it gave the rally a domineering name: the election night won the election. Moreover, the Trump team rejected all interview applications from international media.
From the beginning of counting votes on the afternoon of the 8th, the situation began to deviate from the expectations of the mainstream media and most people. On the indicator map of the live TV broadcast, the bright red representing the Republican Party slowly spread from the eastern state to the midwest, and Trump almost always kept the lead. In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and other key states, the votes of the two sides are evenly matched in the initial stage. Like wrestling, the opponent is held down for a while and then held down by the opponent. However, almost all the final results ended in Trump’s victory.
When Trump’s vote was close to 200, some of Hillary’s female supporters in the Javits Exhibition Center were a little nervous. When Trump’s votes were close to 250 and he was significantly ahead of Hillary, many female supporters had covered their eyes and dared not look at the display screen, and more and more people wiped their eyes and tears.
After the results of the Pennsylvania vote with 20 electoral votes came out, everything was settled: Trump was sure to exceed the election threshold of 270 votes.
At this time, the boiling in the Hilton Hotel is in sharp contrast with the silence in the Javits Exhibition Center.
Rajo, an Indian businessman who came to the Hilton Hotel to cheer for Trump, said: "I voted for Trump. This guy is not a politician. All the media are against him because he is outspoken. I believe that he will bring changes to this country and will start to deal with illegal immigration. "
At the Javits Exhibition Center, people’s views are diametrically opposed.
Mary Joan said in an interview with reporters: "It’s really shocking to see that guy standing on the stage! He likes to talk about women, discriminate against ethnic minorities, and treat other people’s sexual orientation as talk material, but it is so sad that most people support him. "
Hillary did not return to the Javits Exhibition Center to speak to her supporters. She congratulated Trump by phone and admitted that she lost the election. When Trump made a victory declaration on the stage, he also stopped attacking Hillary and even complimented her.

Trump’s main policy proposition
[Taxation] Trump promised to cut taxes across the board and simplify the federal personal income tax rate from the current seventh gear to the third gear. As a result, the highest federal personal income tax rate in the United States will be reduced from the current 39.6% to 33%. In addition, Trump also proposed to abolish the inheritance tax.
[Employment] Trump promised to bring overseas manufacturing jobs back to the United States, advocated reducing the highest federal corporate income tax rate from the current 35% to 15%, and proposed a one-time 10% tax on overseas profits of American companies, and used the income tax to invest in economically backward States in the United States. He advocated the gradual abolition of existing regulations that harm employment, and promised to revive the American coal industry and vigorously develop traditional energy sources such as oil and natural gas, saying that these measures will create 25 million new jobs in the next 10 years.
[Trade] Trump promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), strengthen trade law enforcement, and impose punitive tariffs on countries that conduct "unfair dumping and subsidies".
[Immigration] Trump promised that illegal immigrants in the United States will not obtain legal citizenship. All illegal immigrants with criminal records and illegal immigrants caught during their administration will be repatriated. He also promised to repeal the executive order on immigration reform issued by Obama in November 2014. The executive order aims to protect about 4 million illegal immigrants who have stayed in the United States for a long time and meet the limited conditions from being repatriated.
[Foreign Policy] Trump summed up the core idea of his foreign policy as "America first", that is, putting the interests of the American people and American security first. He criticized Iran’s nuclear agreement as a product unwilling to leave the negotiating table, and proposed to ease US-Russian relations, use economic leverage to influence other countries’ affairs, reshape US military strength, research and order the most advanced equipment, and let American allies bear more defense costs and even protect themselves.

Despite their differences, China and the United States have sufficient ability to control.
Preliminary statistics released by the US media show that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won the US presidential election held on the 8th and was elected as the new US president. What is the American people’s comment on this result? What impact will it have on Sino-US relations and even the world situation? People and experts have something to say.
What do Americans say?
John, a worker, voted for Trump. He said that the reason for doing this is to believe that "Trump will definitely bring changes to Washington."
Statter, a 31-year-old software engineer living in California, is a staunch supporter of Hillary. When he learned the election results, he admitted that he felt "very sad".
On the evening of 8th, a veritable "Tale of Two Cities" was staged in new york. The split of votes represents the different value orientations of the American people.
A survey conducted by Patrick Kader, a senior American pollster, on American voters who may vote in early October showed that Trump had an overwhelming high support rate among white male voters with low income and low education.
Wu Jingsi, an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism, Media and Public Relations at Hofstra University in the United States, said that the result of Trump’s victory made American society, media and many scholars almost "shocked" and even somewhat confused.
"Trump’s victory shows that the American media and society underestimated Trump’s appeal to the American people, especially the low-educated white group. Trump’s so-called "playing cards out of common sense" campaign strategy now seems to have helped him. Although Trump has made many statements that are’ politically incorrect’, the media generally underestimated the tendency of American society to oppose globalization and anti-social trends in 2016, "Wu Jingsi said.
How does Sino-US relations go?
Sino-US relations are one of the most important bilateral relations in the United States, and also a topic of great concern during the US presidential election. What impact will Trump’s election as president of the United States have on Sino-US relations?
Su Ge, president of China Institute of International Studies, said that as the mainstream of Sino-US relations, the depth and breadth of cooperation between the two sides have been increasing, and fruitful cooperation has been carried out on regional and global issues, which has made important contributions to revitalizing the global economy. Under the background of American election, the China issue has been constantly hyped in American domestic politics, but he believes that cooperation is still the correct orientation for the healthy development of Sino-US relations in the future.
Sun Zhe, co-director of the China Project of Columbia University in new york, USA, believes that no matter who is elected in the US general election, the general direction of Sino-US cooperation and the pattern of Sino-US common interests will not change. But he believes that Trump’s most urgent task at present is not diplomacy, but a domestic agenda. Before, for the general election, Trump was strategically "biased", but whether he can introduce practical domestic and foreign policies in time after his election is very important for winning the confidence of voters and later ruling. In this context, there is an adjustment buffer period for Sino-US relations. On the other hand, although China and the United States have differences on some issues, both sides have sufficient ability to control these differences.
What is the impact on the world?
Trump summed up the core idea of his foreign policy as "America first", that is, putting the interests of the American people and American security first. He criticized Iran’s nuclear agreement as a product unwilling to leave the negotiating table, and proposed to ease US-Russian relations, use economic leverage to influence other countries’ affairs, reshape US military strength, research and order the most advanced equipment, and let American allies bear more defense expenses and even protect themselves.
Sun Zhe said that Trump’s coming to power will also have an impact on the global economy and foreign policy of the United States. For example, Trump will introduce some policies to protect the interests of the United States. Therefore, the adjustment of the return of American manufacturing enterprises and trade tariffs may have a certain impact on other countries, but whether this means that the global policy of the United States will shrink remains to be seen.
