The billionaire chairman of China’s Fosun Group — one of the country’s biggest conglomerates — has predicted that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will not instigate a trade war with China because of the common interests between the two nations.

Trump frequently bashed China on the campaign trail and threatened to slap 45% tariffs on Chinese products. But Guo Guangchang’s statement is the latest indicator that Chinese companies are not bracing for a rocky four years ahead, Bloomberg reports.

In an interview published on Thursday, Guo told Bloomberg that Fosun — which owns Wall Street’s 28 Liberty building — would continue to invest in the U.S. and work with American companies. He said the leaders of China and the U.S. were smart enough to find the best way to co-operate and praised the checks and balances that prevent a president from being “free to do whatever he wants.”

“The best thing about democracy is this balancing and self-correction mechanism. If a president doesn’t do a good job the people will vote him out,” Guo said.

He added that he was “optimistic about the changes a businessman turned president will bring to America.”

Guo’s statements come a week after entrepreneur turned movie mogul Wang Jianlin—#1 on Forbes’ China Rich List—reportedly congratulated Trump and said he was not worried about the election result.

掌管中国最大民营企业集团之一——复星集团董事长，拥有亿万身家的郭广昌预计，美国当选总统特朗普不会挑起中美贸易战，因为两国有共同的利益。

特朗普竞选期间频频抨击中国，威胁将对中国出口美国商品征收45%的关税。而据彭博新闻社报道，从郭广昌的言论看，中国企业对未来四年可能遇到的困难准备不足。

在本周四的采访中，郭广昌向彭博表示，拥有纽约华尔街金融区地标建筑Liberty28大楼的复星集团将继续在美国投资，继续与美国企业合作。郭广昌说，中美两国领导人都很聪明，会找到最适合的合作方式。他称赞美国的三权分立制度能防止总统“为所欲为”。

“民主最大的好处就是有平衡和自我修正的机制。如果总统当得不好，人民就会投票让他下台。”郭广昌这样说。

郭广昌还说， 他“对商人转型当总统后领导下的美国比较乐观。”

就在此前一周，地产大王转型的电影大亨王健林也对特朗普当选表示祝贺，说他从未担心美国大选结果。王健林是2016年福布斯中国富豪榜上的首富。（财富中文网）
