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.

China also backed Hillary in 2016.

Sure did. They sent Ng Lap Seng with suitcases of undeclared cash for Hillary, in close proximity to her announcement to run. Caught by ICE fortunately. He claimed the money was to buy paintings.

deliberately releasing Covid on the world in 2019.

Maybe. It's a good possibility. We don't have enough evidence. All we know is that it came from that lab in Wuhan.

They are saying this to create a need for a solution. Naturally they will promote a public/private action to protect the election.
More federal oversight. More censorship. New election procedures swing states will leap at.

China helping Biden win? You mean they do not want Trump to raise the tariff on Chinese Goods? They will do anything to keep Trump out of the White House. I believe they might even resort to assassination, pandemic, war, to keep Biden in power.

Balderdash. Who does he think he’s kidding?

The Bidens got filthy rich thanks to China, especially
crackhead whore-lover Hunter who got the billion buck Bank
of China deal (plus lucrative deals made in secret).

Biden bent over backwards to give China whatever
it wanted, including US intel and valuable tech data.

This Blinken bs is a Biden diversion.
China is obviously helping Biden pull off the steal.

China is merely “protecting their investments”

And this is a problem because our government has hired UKRAINIANS to influence the upcoming elections and they don’t appreciate CHINA butting in.

"All we know is that it came from that lab in Wuhan."

My opinion is that China unleashed Covid to keep them from having to comply with the trade agreement they were forced to make with Trump.
