China is denying it interfered with the 2020 Presidential Election as President Donald Trump alleged Thursday night.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian spoke at a press conference Friday when he called Trump’s allegations “entirely fabricated” and “groundless.”

The president accused China of infiltrating voter rolls during the 2020 election, which he lost to former President Biden, IJR reported.

“The relevant allegations by the U.S. are entirely fabricated and aimed at vilifying China,” Lin said. “We have no interest in interfering in U.S. elections and have never done so.”

to improve relations.

“We urge the U.S. to stop making an issue of China in its elections and do something conducive to China-U.S. relations,” he continued.

During Thursday night’s speech, Trump said he would be declassifying and releasing “critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.”

Trump said the newly released information, now available on the White House website, showed China allegedly carrying out what he described as a massive compromise of election data history, resulting in the acquisition of hundreds of thousands of U.S. voter files.

However, the claims appeared to be largely unsubstantiated by the files posted to the website in a section titled “Election Integrity.”

The documents were not as conclusive as Trump had previously suggested.
