China Condemns Russian Interference In US Elections

Chinese President Xi Jinping Condemned Russia For Its Brazen Efforts To Interfere In US Elections At A Press Conference In Beijing On Tuesday

Commenting on reports that Russia was behind the bomb threats in multiple Democrat leaning districts in US swing states on the day of the US Presidential Election, Chinese President Xi Jinping criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin for his “brash and rowdy cowboy style of interference in foreign elections” during a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

Xi went on to state that Putin’s approach to interference in foreign elections was seemingly inspired by Al Pacino’s rendition of Tony Montana in the cult classic American blockbuster Scarface.

Xi expressed concerns that Putin’s bombastic manner of election interference had attracted excessive global attention and thus threatened the ongoing viability of the craft.

“The sustainable approach to interference in foreign elections necessitates a patient and insidious effort that yields incremental gains over an extended period of time. Its success is underpinned by its subtlety”, Xi added.

Xi had also criticised Putin a few months earlier following the United States Department of Justice’s revelation that Russia had actively meddled in the 2024 Presidential Election through a $10 million investment in American social media influencers recruited to disseminate disinformation.

“Russia’s irresponsible overpayments to the traitorous US influencers have contributed significantly to the rise in global inflation & the unsustainable increase in the going rate for treason”, Xi had said at the time, noting additionally that Putin had displayed “amateurish recklessness”.
