President Donald Trump Accuses China Of Meddling In Upcoming US Election                                                              

US President Donald Trump found Chinese interference in elections more dangerous than Russian. He said this in an interview with CBS.

The journalist Leslie Stahl asked whether the president believed that Russia interfered in the presidential elections in the country in 2016, he replied "They did it. But I think that China also interfered." "You want to say that China also interfered?" the reporter interrupted him. "Yes, and you want to know something. Honestly, I think China is a much more serious problem," the American leader said.

In response to the recognition of the president, Stahl said that Trump was leaving the answer about Russian intervention. He, in turn, denied the charges.

"I don't do anything like that," Trump said. "I say Russia intervened, but I also believe that China was involved in the intervention."

Exactly the same he told on 26^th September 2018 during an address his first U.N. Security Council meeting "Regrettably, we found that China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming 2018 election coming up in November against my administration."

"They do not want me, or us, to win because I am the first president ever to challenge China on trade. And we are winning on trade. We are winning at every level."

Shortly after Trump's remarks, China's foreign minister rejected his accusations of election meddling. Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters that Beijing follows the principle of non-interference in other countries' affairs and refuses to accept "unwarranted accusations" against China.

China's state media has been placing paid supplements in major American newspapers for at least several years. Although some journalists in the U.S. have criticized the practice as unethical, it has become common for countries and companies to strike deals for this kind of paid content that does not go through a newspaper's editorial channels.

Trump's accusation of Chinese election meddling further raises pressure against Beijing during an escalating trade war. The official mentioned Chinese censorship, propaganda, cyberbullying, and China's visa selection process as examples of how China is actively interfering in the American political system. The official said these practices have reached "an unacceptable level."

Beijing has been accused of corporate espionage for years and in 2015 allegedly hacked a database containing personal information on as many as four million people who applied for jobs with the U.S. government.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned that China's growing prowess in cyberspace is a bigger, more dangerous threat to the United States than Russia's attempt to undermine U.S. elections.

Speaking at a cybersecurity conference in September 2018 at The Citadel, a military college in Charleston, South Carolina, Coats characterized the Chinese threat as deliberate, methodical and subtle, and warned that Beijing is on a path that could lead to global supremacy.

It was reported that Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping would probably meet on the margins of the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 2018. In spite of this, the American leader blamed Beijing of trying to intervene in mid-term congressional elections in November. He also stated that he might "cease to be friends" with the Chinese leader.

It became known that the White House was preparing a campaign to accuse China of "hostile actions" against the United States and thereby move Russia from its post of "main horror story."
