The momentum of China-US economic and trade ties is unlikely to be reversed despite the difficulties Donald Trump's election as US president has added.

As a matter of fact, Trump's election also leaves a big space for the US' economic and trade cooperation with China, given that his stress on boosting manufacturing in the United States offers increased opportunities for Chinese enterprises to invest in the US.

China's overseas investment is expected to be somewhere between $250 billion and $300 billion by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) period, which will exceed that of the US if the latter's current overseas investment level remains unchanged in the years ahead.
