Blinken tells CNN the US has seen evidence of China attempting to influence upcoming US elections

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US has seen evidence of Chinese attempts to “influence and arguably interfere” with the upcoming US elections, despite an earlier commitment from leader Xi Jinping not to do so.

Blinken made the comments to CNN’s Kylie Atwood in an interview Friday at the close of a three-day to trip to China, where the top American diplomat spent hours meeting with top Chinese officials including Xi, as the two countries navigated a raft of contentious issues from US tech controls to Beijing’s support for Moscow.

Blinken said he repeated a message President Joe Biden gave to Xi during their summit in San Francisco last November not to interfere in the 2024 US presidential elections. Then, Xi had pledged that that China would not do so, according to CNN reporting.

Blinken is gaslighting, all suppositions under the cover of “intelligence”.

Makes sense they would do that. They don’t want to impede Chinese interference unless they have an angle.

They would if they could get away with it. We don’t even know where the border jumpers are.

In 2016 it was the bogus claim of "Russian interference" that excused FISA wiretaps on Trump's campaign and constant push to impeach Trump.

Will the bogus claim of "Chinese interference" result in Trump's campaign being spied on again?

If Biden loses in November, I would guess they will. If Biden wins, they still want to punish Trump for the haters, but maybe less likely in that case.

“Doesn’t make any sense.”

From the actual article:

Blinken said he repeated a message President Joe Biden gave to Xi during their summit in San Francisco last November not to interfere in the 2024 US presidential elections. Then, Xi had pledged that China would not do so, according to CNN reporting.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/30/politics/xi-biden-china-us-2024-election/index.html#:~:text=Chinese%20leader%20Xi%20Jinping%20told,with%20the%20conversations%20told%20CNN

But Xi is lying. Other country’s elections, and their own, have been targets of meddling since long before any of us were born. And it will happen again no matter how much they separate their front teeth enough to let that through.

But Joe looks like the honest politician he is(n’t) by saying that to show his patriotism and fair play. And if you buy that one I’ve got some stock in a diamond mine in Brzil to sell.

Here we go again. Exactly what Hillary said about Putin/Russia during the 2016 Trump campaign.

Usually, yes.

It’s all about elections, demographics and money.

63.6 million in the US today. That’s a lot of votes (~19%).

China did interfere on Bidens behalf in 2020. China also backed Hillary in 2016. So Blinken is saying China wants Democrats.

I think it’s quite thoughtful for them to give us a brief respite from the Russia Russia Russia excuse.

And the excuse is to go in to “protect” us from such a threat by establishing their own cyber connections to carry out the theft, IMO.

Dems play the long game. Too many GOP critters are intoxicated by dreams of instant profits. They might die before the anchor babies’ grandkids vote. And remember, now they are coming from Haiti, Africa, Gaza...

.... Democrats know that Trump is absolutely a Chinese operative controlled by Xi.

They likely interfered in the 2016 election against Trump, and definitely interfered in the 2020 election by deliberately releasing Covid on the world in 2019.

If you think of it as kabuki theater it makes sense.
