“Generally speaking, we… “We saw evidence of an attempt to influence and definitely influence.” China “interfered” in the 2024 election despite President Joe Biden’s warnings not to do so.
Atwood said, “I would like to hear that CNN reported on the promise that President Xi made to President Biden during their meeting in November.He told President Biden that China would not interfere in the next U.S. presidential election.” But since then, there have been a number of reports of Chinese online accounts falsely imitating Trump supporters. Do you think these accounts are in violation of President Xi’s pledge?
“What I can say is that President Biden has been very clear on that with President Xi, and I reiterated that in our conversation today,” Blinken responded. We consider any interference by China in our elections very carefully and it is completely unacceptable to us. ”
He also said, “Look, it’s something that we’re tracking very closely. I can’t speak to these specific reports. I can say in general terms that we’re telling China, ‘You can’t do that. Please don’t do that,” he clearly told them. ”
Mr. Atwood then asked, “But as far as you know, they haven’t breached their promises yet?”
Blinken said: “Well, again, we need to look at the specific reports you’re referring to, but generally speaking, we do see evidence of attempts to influence and certainly interfere.” “We want to make sure that it is interference.” Abort it as soon as possible. ”
