Is China Interfering With U.S. Elections?


Is China trying to interfere with the United States' elections? Vice President Pence seems to think so. Pence's accusation is that in another escalation of the economic trade war between the U.S. and China, China has now begun an attempt to change the outcome of the U.S. upcoming elections. Saying that "what the Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this country." However, much of this seems to be speculation as Pence has offered no hard evidence and is relying on quoting things that were told to him by our intelligence community. The article goes on to indicate that whatever intelligence which does indicate this action by China remains classified.
