1. Various of U.S. Ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, speaking at watch party
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicholas Burns, U.S. Ambassador to China:
“China is our third largest trade partner with the United States and we have a very large economic relationship. It’s complicated. There are blockages on both sides. The United States is prohibiting the export of advanced semiconductors into China. China is also blocking the export of key Chinese technologies into the United States. So that’s one of the issues.”
3. Mid of decorations
4. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Li Dan, Founder and Chairman of Baturu Cultural Festival:
“If Trump is elected… During his term in office previously, he pushed forward the anti-abortion laws. It was a big step backwards for women’s rights in the U.S., and it had a big impact on America’s global aid and funds on gender equality. We work with the U.S. Embassy, American NGOs and foundations on many of our programmes. The elections will have quite a big impact on our future programmes.”
5. Close of signage
6. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Zhu Junwei, Director of Centre for American Studies at Grandview Institution:
“If Harris is elected, our expectation is that it’s likely for U.S.-China relations to continue the current trend during her first two years in office. It (the U.S.–China relationship) is likely to remain relatively stable. If Trump is elected, there could be many unpredictable situations. It’s possible that the ceiling is high and the floor is low. There will be a big range for changes, which will bring many challenges.”
7. Wide of American flag

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Eden Woon, President, American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong:
“Most people predict that frankly, depending who is going to be president doesn’t really matter too much but there’s going to differences in policies. Maybe not very much but it could be significant for China, it could be significant for the friends and allies of each country and so finally, it’s very important for Hong Kong because Hong Kong has a very close trade relationship with the United States.”
13. Close of souvenirs
14. Various of people at event

Taipei, Taiwan – 6 November 2024

18. Various of people in bar watching election results
19. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Leon Chen, 47, local resident:
“I think it is unlikely that we (Taiwan) will be free from China’s influence in a short period of time, so I hope that in the future (in the United States) a strong leader will be elected to serve as Taiwan’s backing.”
20. Various of people watching results
