China has finally congratulated Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on winning the U.S. presidential election after days of silence to acknowledge the victory.

“We understand that the result of the U.S. presidential election will be determined following the U.S. laws and procedures,” Wang said.
The acknowledgment came just after Biden defeated Donald Trump in Arizona, one of the battleground states.
