A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Friday refuted relevant allegations by the United States about the so-called "meddling in elections," describing them as completely groundless and malicious smears, which have long been proven to be nonsense.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a related query.

"The relevant claims from the U.S. side are fabrication and malicious smearing that have long been proven to be complete nonsense. China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and has neither any interest in nor ever interfered in U.S. elections. On the contrary, it is clear to the entire international community who has a long track record of willfully interfering in other nations' internal affairs, conducting indiscriminate surveillance of governments, enterprises and ordinary people across the world, and stealing personal data of foreign citizens on a large scale. We urge the U.S. side to reflect on its own conduct, stop groundless smears against China, stop making China an issue in U.S. elections, and contribute to a positive China-U.S. relationship," said Lin.
