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 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 con Blinken says the US has seen evidence of China attempting to influence contentious issues from US tech controls to Beijing’s support for Moscow.
Blinken said he repeated a message President Biden gave to Xi during their summit in San Francisco last November not to interfere in the 2024 US presidential elections.
“We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said when asked whether China was violating Xi’s commitment to Biden so far.
