Summary:
The global economy is facing multiple pressures including high inflation, high interest rates, economic slowdown, and geopolitical conflicts. Domestically, the U.S. is increasingly turbulent due to social divisions and political polarization. The 2024 U.S. election has once again become a focal point of global attention — the competition between Harris and Trump has entered a heated stage. This article delves into the current electoral situation, the candidates' positions, the influence of key swing states, and the potential constraints of congressional elections on policies, while exploring the potential impacts of either candidate's election.

This article argues that China needs to maintain economic stability and deepen reform and opening-up to remain invincible in the changing global landscape.
