US Intelligence Warns of China's Potential Influence on 2024 Elections

A recent US intelligence report cautions about China's potential attempts to influence the 2024 elections and exacerbate societal divisions in the US. The report suggests that China's desire to sideline critics and magnify societal divisions could lead to meddling in the elections. It also highlights China's use of platforms like TikTok to target candidates and increase covert influence operations. Despite Chinese denials, the report indicates a possible inability for the government to rein in propaganda and influence operations. This assessment contradicts previous statements by Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who had assured no interference in the elections. The report underscores concerns about China's interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, despite repeated denials by the Chinese government. Efforts to seek comments from the Chinese foreign ministry were not immediately successful.
