In following this year’s election, the Chinese media and other observers focused on the major candidates’ images, rhetoric, and policy positions, while the ordinary Chinese were largely attracted to the candidates’ personality and scandals. The two candidates that have attracted the most attention from the Chinese are, of course, the Democratic standard-bearer Hillary Clinton, and her Republican opponent Donald Trump.
