During a portion of an interview with CNN National Security Correspondent Kylie Atwood on Friday that was aired on Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that “we have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere” in the 2024 election by China despite warnings from President Joe Biden to not interfere.
Atwood asked, “I want to ask you about a commitment that CNN has reported President Xi made to President Biden when they met in November. We reported that he told President Biden that China would not interfere in the upcoming presidential elections in the United States. But, since then, there have been reports of online Chinese accounts that have falsely mimicked Trump supporters. Do you believe that these accounts violate President Xi’s commitment?”
He also stated, “Look, it’s something we’re tracking very carefully. I can’t speak to these specific reports. I can say that, as a general matter, we’ve been very clear with China, don’t do it.”
Atwood then asked, “But they’re not violating the commitment yet, as far as you can tell?”
