Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated United States President-elect Joe Biden on winning the US elections, Xinhua reported on Wednesday.

The move from the Chinese president comes after the country's Foreign Ministry recognized Biden as the winner of the election.

Unlike China, Russia is waiting for an official confirmation of the vote before congratulating anyone as President Donald Trump continues to challenge the election results, citing voter fraud.
