China's foreign ministry responded to President Donald Trump's accusations of Chinese interference in U.S. elections, labeling his remarks as 'malicious smears.' In a speech on Thursday, Trump referenced declassified intelligence suggesting vulnerabilities in U.S. elections due to potential Chinese meddling and claimed that 'deep state' officials had concealed this information. The following morning, spokesman Lin Jian stated that the allegations are 'entirely fabricated' and emphasized that China has no interest in interfering in U.S. elections. He urged the U.S. to refrain from politicizing China in its electoral processes. Trump cited intelligence reports indicating that voter data in 18 states was compromised by China and expressed concerns about the security of voting machines against foreign interference. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's speech, asserting that voters, not external forces, should determine election outcomes.
