Senior economist Rizal Ramli stated that the position of the United States would not change in the South China Sea if Joe Biden was elected as the President of the United States in 2020.

"Because China is considered an obstacle to American progress. Because America has no desire for territorial expansion, but it wants to be politically influential," Rizal said in a dialogue with PRO-3 RRI, Jakarta, Friday (6/11/2020).

Rizal revealed that Biden's electoral victory would not be fully supported by the US Congress and senators, because of the defeat of the Democratic Party's vote.

"What does it mean, Biden's victory does not have too big an implication. Even if he has various initiatives, it will be difficult to pass," he said.

Several analysts predict that military tensions will subside if Joe Biden wins the United States Presidential Election.

Biden is considered to be more dialogic and will highlight economic focus in his policies. (RRI)
