China blasts ‘unfounded smears’ as Trump’s election claims threaten diplomatic thaw

US President Donald Trump accused China of interfering in the US elections by allegedly stealing 220 million voter files, which he claimed included personal information and political preferences. This accusation was made during a lengthy White House address and has raised concerns about the potential impact on improving US-China relations. In response, China's foreign ministry denied these allegations, stating they lacked factual basis and emphasized China's adherence to the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. Trump has previously made similar claims about Chinese involvement in US elections, but this recent statement appears to be the most detailed and direct. The issue of alleged Chinese interference in US elections remains a contentious point in bilateral relations.

Bias read (Conservative): The article presents Trump's accusations against China as credible and highlights their severity, while portraying China's response as dismissive and lacking factual support. The framing emphasizes Trump's claims without providing balanced counterpoints or additional context from independent sources
