US Election results 2020: Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden is inching towards victory, even as US President Donald Trump continues to fume over 'counting fraud' in Michigan and Wisconsin
US Presidential Election results 2020: In a major blow to the incumbent President, US courts have dismissed the Donald Trump campaign's lawsuits related to alleged electoral malpractice in Michigan and Georgia. In Michigan, the Trump campaign had sought to stop counting of absentee ballots, while in Georgia it had alleged that even improper ballots were being counted. US media declared Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden winner in Michigan.
Yesterday, even as US election results keep coming in, the country saw a range of protests from both pro-Trump and anti-Trump groups. While Trump asserts that he could still win the Presidential polls, unless Democrats "steal" election, Biden has maintained that he would emerge victorious, but every vote must be counted.

US-China tensions will remain even if Biden joins Paris climate pact, say observers
Chinese observers say that Washington and Beijing have more challenges to overcome even if they work together on the climate change issue, even as US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has said that he will immediately rejoin the Paris climate pact if elected as the president.
Even though the relationship between the US and China might improve on the climate change issue if Biden fulfills his promise, Shi Yinhong, an expert on US affairs at Renmin University in Beijing, stated that both sides would have other challenges to deal with, reports Echo Xie for South China Morning Post.
"China and the US could seek cooperation on areas such as climate change, non-proliferation, global health, and civilian cybersecurity in principle, but the results would be limited," he said.

Democracy sometimes messy, requires little patience: Biden on delayed election results
Democracy is sometimes messy and requires a little patience, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said as the counting of votes for the US election is taking longer than usual.
"In America, the vote is sacred. It's how the people of this nation express their will. And it is the will of the voters, no one and not anything else that chooses the President of the United States. So, each ballot must be counted and that's what is going on now. And that's how it should be, Biden said in his address to the media in Delaware on Thursday.
"Democracy is sometimes messy, so sometimes it requires a little patience. But that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with a system of governance that has been the envy of the world. We continue to feel very good about where things stand, he said.
In the US election, voters decide state-level contests rather than a single, national one. Each US state gets a certain number of Electoral College votes partly based on the size of the population, with a total of 538 up for grabs.
