Presidential aspirants Donald Trump, a Repbulican, and Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, have constantly strived to outweigh each other's plans in relation to what they would do to China if they are elected to the world's economic powerhouse.
This might, however, be easier said than done. The constant strive for the US to remain as the world's most powerful and not be overtaken by China is said to be a case that requires great skill and intelligence.

For his part, Donald Trump, the former business tycoon turn politician, has not been lenient when stating that China's position in the world market is fixated on shortcuts and manipulation.
If elected, Trump has made a pledge to kick off his leadership by declaring China as "a currency manipulator under the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act."
Another promise in his campaign is to stop theft of American intelligence. It was noted that this could be a great achievement, but a tough one as well. The only way it can reportedly succeed is only if US would deny American companies from investing in China.
Meanwhile, he also added that he will put an end to unfair competition by setting an equal trading and labor platform for both World powers. This could be good news to the workforce as they are expected to get paid in accordance to their work, not citizenship.
As these pledges look commendable, it can be noted that they go hand in hand with his campaign slogan to "Make America Great Again."
Clinton, on the other hand, has reportedly opted to gather goodwill and trust between the first and second world powers (US and China, respectively), rather than creating an economic war zone, something which Trump allegedly wishes to do.
Her quest as the American leader is not to question China's "currency manipulation," but instead, deny the country market economy status under the US law. This is a special treatment specifically to China.
The presidential aspirant has likewise pledged to confront China on matters to do with the country under-pricing the value of steel for the country to get more export.
She, however, has failed to give insight on how she will do this, including the timeline for whatever she is set to implement.
According to a report by Brookings, Hillary has a greater challenge in dealing with the Chinese community. It reads that after her run as the secretary of State, Global time issued a special report describing her as the most hated American Political Politician among Chinese internet users.
However, the end result of the election does not really mean much for the Chinese community. Hillary has an advantage of being lenient while addressing key topics unlike Trump, but that's really not an asset to consider the US-China economic relationship.
The two presidential aspirants are among the five other aspirants who are vying for the Presidential sit.
The remaining three are: Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson, Green Party's Jill Stein and Constitution Party's Darell Castle.
