WASHINGTON – Beijing increased the intensity of its election interference operations last year – most likely due to President Biden’s perceived weakness and a belief the activity would draw less attention in a non-presidential year, according to a newly declassified intelligence report.
The 21-page document compiled by the National Intelligence Council and declassified last week by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, concluded that Chinese Communist Party leadership “tacitly approved” the influence campaign, raising fears that the US’ chief rival is readying an even more aggressive interference push in 2024.
According to the report, senior Beijing officials “have issued broad directives to intensify efforts” to influence not only American public opinion, but also foreign policy in China’s favor since the last presidential election.
“[Chinese] leaders most likely see their efforts to magnify US societal divisions as a response to what they believe is an intensified US effort to promote democracy at China’s expense,” the authors wrote.
Underpinning the activity are concerns in Beijing about rising anti-China sentiment in the US and the belief that it must be countered, the report assessed.
Relations with China have frayed dramatically under the Biden administration, which has maneuvered to cut Beijing off from strategic technologies such as advanced semiconductors and shot down a Chinese spy balloon that drifted through US airspace for more than a week earlier this year.
‘Tacit approval‘ Ahead of last year’s midterms, the Chinese government gave “influence actors more freedom to operate” than in prior election cycles, “probably” because it “did not expect the current administration to retaliate as severely as they feared in 2020,” according to the report.
That direction was also partly due to the perceived lesser importance of midterm elections, during which Chinese officials “believed that Beijing was under less scrutiny.”

that’s why the red wave became a trickle.
China

As long as government at all levels remains unserious about election security, this will continue.
Of course they didn’t fear FJB. He is on their payroll.
as discussed on Maria Bartiromo show today..
‘PRC officials believed the current admin wouldn’t retaliate’..
Ratcliffe- china wanted Biden elected, Xi told biden that they will take Taiwan - no response from biden
china has advanced in the middle east, south pacific, will deploy cyber weapons, media etc. to influence American voters..
Weak:
EG., there was a secret effort to hide the intelligence on the china spy balloon, loaded with surveillance equipment..
Open fire!

They have been bribing him for at least 20 years.

Did .gov lie ?
Communist Chinese Employers do not fear their Employees.

maybe mutiny milley.. .. . felt it was no threat to chyna so deemed it no threat so no reason to object or warn anyone in .gov..

So which US politicians did the Chinese try to get elected and who did they oppose? That’s what I want to know.
CHY-NAH!
Of course China interferes in the election.
They “elected” Joe Biden and now intend to “re-elect” him.
Because they own him.
Joe: "Xi, just keep the money rolling in. The US will back you all the way."
They told us Trump was a Russian spy. They told us Hunter’s laptop was fake. They told us Covid came from people eating bat soup.
Unfortunately, the default position must be that EVERYTHING coming out of Fed.gov intel agency grandees are LIES.
Of course, they didn’t fear Biden because they were interfering on the behalf of Democrats. No one is going to be shocked except for media feigned shock to find the same when Chinese money was washing through the Democrat presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 and more of the same in 2024
The next ruler will be selected by Peking—and it will NOT be Trump. Who is best for China and Xi (Winnie the Poo) will rule the United States! That is not anyone with an original thought in their head. A million dollar make over—slick commercials, praise from the Cable News servants—and a bit of cheating—a done deal. All hail president Newsom! (or some other turkey they pick—that includes RINO-GOP too).
