We are treated to a daily recitation of Russia's attempts to meddle in the 2016 U.S. elections.
Then what China is doing right now with its targeted tariffs aimed at weakening the GOP in November midterms and President Trump going forward is just as egregious a violation of the sanctity of our democracy.
Meddling in the U.S elections is virtually non-existent.
The Chinese have made it clear they are targeting their tariffs on major American agriculture exports to China to create maximum pain in the agricultural Midwest states that are a strong part of the Republican base and the Trump coalition.
In social media, via CGTN, the English language news channel of the Chinese government, to make the threat as explicit as possible to the Midwest voters: If President Trump doesn't drop the tariffs on Chinese manufacturers, China will destroy agricultural markets in the Midwest - thus ruining GOP attempts to retain its majorities in Congress.
From Chinese Vice Premier Liu to Chinese propaganda outlets made it abundantly clear that China is using its targeted tariffs as a wedge issue designed to split "Apart different domestic groups in the US." This is full-fledged policy and actions of the Chinese government to meddle in U.S. elections by overtly trying to shift American opinion away from one political party.
One purpose could be to try to blackmail Trump into backing down from his tariffs on China by threatening the outcome of U.S. elections.
