Election result 'won't affect Sino-US relations'

Premier Li Keqiang voiced confidence on Wednesday over Beijing's ties with Washington, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election later this year.

He made the remarks when asked about Sino-US ties at his annual news conference at the end of the two sessions.

He said the US election campaign has been lively and has attracted widespread attention. "I believe that no matter who gets into the White House in the end, the underlying trend of China-US ties will not change," Li said.
