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.

China was very happy when Biden became Potus.

This is very odd. China would throw their support to Biden, naturally. So why is Blinken yammering to CNN about China meddling? Doesn’t make any sense.

Oh well, election denying. I presume you have Xi locked up in a DC jail awaiting some vague distant hing of maybe being charged and tried.

Maybe the Biden gang doesn’t trust China now, or they are pretending to care about Muslims because they are worried about Michigan in 2024.

Oh, -—NOW-— we care!!! hahaha

If they help us, it’s fine, if they are against us, then it’s evil outside and foreign meddling which needs the US IC to get involved...

If it’s us censoring and propogandizing the living bejesus out of people, it’s fine. If it’s the Chinese copying our lead, ban Tic Tok. How dare they?

Nobody can interfere with our elections. They are the most honest and secure in the history of the universe.

Only the overwhelming evil of the Russians is able to get past our defenses and they only do so for Donald Trump.

The Dims are throwing out every reason they can think of to excuse them taking control of elections for "our protection".

"Help" is a funny word. When Dems and RINOs "help us with the border" it means they want to bring more invaders in faster.
