During a July 17, 2026 primetime speech, former President Donald Trump alleged that China and Russia orchestrated the largest election‑data breach in history, citing documents purporting to prove foreign meddling – claims that intelligence officials say find no evidence of a changed outcome.
The former president repeated unfounded 2020‑election fraud claims on Thursday, saying Beijing breached the voting system and promising to release classified information.
China on Friday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that Beijing interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, calling the allegation 'entirely fabricated' and stating it has never sought to influence American elections.
