- Trump makes unverified claims of China ‘election meddling’

Our China correspondent Amy Hawkins has provided some context Donald Trump’s unverified claims that China of interfered with the 2020 presidential election:

Trump’s remarks were at odds with the conciliatory tone he has struck with Beijing since he travelled to China to meet Xi Jinping in May. The Chinese president has been invited to Washington in September.

A 2021 US intelligence community assessment concluded that no foreign actor, including China, attempted to alter any technical aspect of the 2020 voting process. The report said that while Russia had conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating Biden’s campaign, China did not deploy any interference efforts intended to change the outcome of the election.
