United StatesThe Trump administration has renewed allegations that China collected millions of American voter registration files, claiming this constitutes election interference. According to a White House fact sheet endorsed by multiple U.S. intelligence agencies, China allegedly acquired non-public voter data through hacking, purchasing, or stealing, though the exact methods and extent remain unspecified. This claim follows the declassification of intelligence records by former President Donald Trump, who has long disputed the legitimacy of the 2020 election. While Trump labeled this the 'largest compromise of election data in history,' election experts have countered that such data is often publicly accessible and does not directly enable foreign interference in voting processes. A 2020 declassified report indicated that China analyzed U.S. voter data for public opinion analysis during the 2020 election, but the full scope of their intentions remains unclear.

It emphasizes the potential risks of voter data exposure without adequately contextualizing the accessibility of such data in mostU
