Antony Blinken Claims China is Trying to Interfere in Upcoming US Elections in Beijing

Blinken recently concluded his three-day visit to China and made significant remarks during this time. In an interview with CNN on Friday, Blinken expressed the messages he delivered to top Chinese officials, including President Xi Jinping. He reiterated President Biden’s previous message to not interfere in the 2024 US presidential elections.

Xi assured Blinken that China would uphold this commitment. Blinken also addressed concerns about potential interference in US elections, stating that any such actions by China are totally unacceptable. Despite Beijing’s claims of non-interference in US elections, there have been accusations of political interference in other countries believed to be affiliated with China, including Canada.

This trip marked Blinken’s second visit to China in less than a year and is part of ongoing high-level engagements between the two countries. The visit served to expand bilateral communications and focus on areas of cooperation while also openly addressing differences. This approach is seen as crucial in preventing their competition from escalating into conflict.
