If you can’t trust a bunch of Commies, whom can you trust?

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US has seen evidence of Chinese attempts to “influence and arguably interfere” with the upcoming US elections, despite an earlier commitment from leader Xi Jinping not to do so.

“We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said when asked whether China was violating Xi’s commitment to Biden so far.

“Any interference by China in our election is something that we’re looking very carefully at and is totally unacceptable to us, so I wanted to make sure that they heard that message again,” Blinken said.

Because nothing works like repetition. Maybe Xi failed to understand the message last time. Surely repeating it will work.

Is China actually interfering in the election? It’s pretty clear that China would love another four years of Joe.

I suspect that by “election interference”, Blinken actually means the sort of stuff that Russia was doing in 2016, which wasn’t about influencing the election, but did try to recruit fringe political elements, including BLM, to promote its propaganda, while pushing anti-American narratives.

There’s every reason to think that China is doing that. TikTok is pretty much built on it.

The ideal fifth column is built out of people who hate their own country so that’s who foreign enemies will target with their propaganda.

The problem is that those people also tend to be the leftist base of the Dems.

So what Blinken really means by election interference is really “stop pushing radical anti-American narratives to our radical leftist base of young people around an election that will discourage them from voting.”

Blinken doesn’t convey that to CNN in clear terms. It’s highly probable Biden didn’t convey it to China in clear terms, but Xi doesn’t care either way. China will keep on attacking America until we fight back.
