Trump Says He Will Discuss Alleged Beijing Interference in U.S. Election with China
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he will discuss the alleged issue of Beijing interfering in the U.S. election with China.
When asked about potential consequences for China stemming from these allegations, Trump told reporters: "Well, just wait and see. We'll talk to them."
Previously, Trump had publicly accused China of doing everything possible to block his re-election in 2020, claiming that relevant intelligence was deliberately concealed by U.S. intelligence agencies and not reported to the White House. He asserted that China is suspected of being behind the largest election data breach in American history since 2020, illegally obtaining personal information of approximately 220 million voters. He further claimed that the FBI had obtained intelligence in 2020 indicating that China attempted to forge votes supporting Joe Biden, but that this intelligence was intentionally covered up by "malicious officials."
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson responded by stating that the U.S. claims are entirely baseless and malicious smears, long proven to be groundless. China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs, has no interest in, nor has it ever interfered in, U.S. elections. On the contrary, it is clear to the international community who frequently interferes in other countries' internal affairs, conducts indiscriminate surveillance on governments, enterprises, and ordinary citizens worldwide, and massively steals data belonging to foreign nationals.
The spokesperson emphasized that China urges the United States to reflect inwardly, cease unfounded accusations against China, refrain from using China as a political tool during elections, and instead take actions conducive to improving Sino-U.S. relations.
