The world has been witnessing who has wantonly interfered in other countries’ internal affairs, Ambassador Lin stated.
On Friday, China described as “completely false” allegations of election interference in the United States made by President Donald Trump.

Beijing “has no interest in and has never interfered in U.S. elections,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said, urging the United States to stop using China as an election campaign issue.
“This is a false allegation and serious smear that has long been proved to be unfounded. China adheres to non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs. We never interfere in U.S. elections and have zero interest in that,” Lin said.
“The world has actually been witnessing who exactly has wantonly interfered in other countries’ internal affairs, long conducted indiscriminate surveillance on governments, businesses and the general public worldwide, and snatched massive data of foreign citizens.”
“We urge the U.S. to reflect on its behavior, stop vilifying China and framing China for election purpose, and act in ways conducive to China-U.S. relations,” Lin said.

Earlier, during a prime-time address from the White House on Thursday, Trump sought to demonstrate alleged vulnerabilities in the U.S. electoral system by falsely claiming that China and other countries have the ability to manipulate electronic elections.
Citing declassified Central Intelligence Agency documents, the Republican leader made misleading claims against China. More specifically, he said China produced fraudulent documents to facilitate illegal votes and alter the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, in which Trump lost to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
However, the CIA documents cited by the White House describe unverified allegations and internal assessments that questioned the reliability of some sources. In addition, the same U.S. security agencies had concluded that foreign actors did not alter the election results.

Trump is Trying to Rig the Midterm Elections: Gibson
Through social networks, reactions against Trump’s unfounded claims emerged almost immediately, comparing them with the facts.
The Republican leader said that China had “carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history,” allegedly acquiring data from 220 million files containing people’s personal information and “sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote.” In this regard, after doing a fact checking, the CBS network described his statements as “Misleading.”
“All states make some voting information publicly available – name, address, political party, etc. North Carolina and Ohio, for example, post their voter file online for free. In some states, these lists are available for purchase by political campaigns and parties. It’s not clear how China accessed the data nor what they did with it once they obtained it,” CBS posted on X.
“This is a 25th Amendment moment. I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil. Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him. Show up and VOTE this November,” California Governor Gavin Newsom stated on social networks.
Despite evidence contradicting his claims, Trump questioned the reliability of the U.S. electoral system, criticized mail voting, linked migrants to election insecurity, and pressured Congress to approve legislation that would restrict voting ahead of the November midterm elections.
