in5points
Chinese embassy spokesperson Liu Chang denied China interfered in 2020 US elections before President Donald Trump made allegations.
Trump released declassified documents on July 16, 2026, claiming China obtained data from 220 million US voter files.
Trump alleged US intelligence concealed the extent of China's activities.
A 2021 US intelligence assessment concluded no foreign actor altered technical aspects of the 2020 election.
The denial and allegations escalate tensions ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
