China seeks to establish ties with potential officials of the Trump administration - Media.

The Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai, is actively planning to meet with American officials and experts to establish contacts with the new government of Donald Trump. Recently, the Chinese embassy has communicated with Democrats, but has had issues with Republicans.

Evan Medeiros, a former White House official on Asia, stated that China hoped for stability and a deal with Trump, but is not sure if the president himself knows what he wants, so China is watching and waiting. Trump's statements about imposing tariffs on imports from China have sparked debates in Beijing.

The Chinese government is trying to meet with experts in Washington before the new administration takes office, but that does not mean China lacks information about new officials. Chinese intelligence is likely keeping an eye on events at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump held meetings with candidates for government positions.
