China once again interfered with our elections last year. How can we stop this from happening in 2024?
From The Epoch Times. The Chinese regime interfered in the U.S. 2022 midterm elections through various means, according to a declassified intelligence report and multiple private-sector investigations.
Talk about issues like these on The Community.
The effort included a broad array of techniques orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including retaliation against U.S. lawmakers, the promotion of divisive content, and the impersonation of American voters online.
Noted China hawk Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) said the regime will continue its efforts to interfere in U.S. elections until the Biden administration deals more seriously with Beijing. …
A declassified assessment published by the director of national intelligence (DNI) in December 2023 found that the regime tried to “influence” U.S. congressional elections involving both Democrats and Republicans who espoused tough-on-China policy stances.
The report also found that the scale and scope of foreign activity targeting the elections surpassed that of the prior midterms but remained below the level expected in presidential years.
The report assessed that the CCP had a “greater willingness to conduct election influence activities than in past cycles,” partly because it didn’t fear retaliation from the Biden administration.
The report states that CCP officials gave operatives more freedom to interfere in U.S. elections because the regime “believed that Beijing was under less scrutiny … and because they did not expect the current administration to retaliate as severely as they feared in 2020.”
CCP Eyes Members of Congress
The CCP targeted congressional races out of a belief that the legislative branch was more likely to take action against its “core interests,” the DNI report states.
As such, the regime hoped to ensure that pro-China candidates won their races, regardless of party affiliation, according to Sam Kessler, a geopolitical adviser at the North Star Support Group risk advisory firm. …
The regime took action “to punish [candidates] for their anti-China views and to reward [candidates] for their perceived support of Beijing,” the report states.
The regime also sought to sow discord among Americans but focused primarily on undermining “a small number of specific candidates based on their policy positions.” …
Chinese Law Enforcement
In addition to influencing elections, the regime also sought to covertly use social media accounts, proxy websites, paid influencers, and public relations firms to manipulate U.S. public opinion about China, according to the report.
Those findings align with reports published last year by tech giants Meta and Microsoft.
That operation was connected to known individuals in Chinese law enforcement who sought to influence the 2022 midterm elections, according to Meta.
Casey Fleming, CEO of the risk advisory firm BlackOps Partners, said the initiative was part of the CCP’s wider strategy of unrestricted hybrid warfare. …
The regime’s influence operations were largely carried out by using accounts across multiple platforms to sow division in the United States and inflame tensions about divisive social issues such as abortion and gun control, as well as disparaging democracy and claiming that voting isn’t useful.
In all, Meta stated that it purged more than 7,700 Facebook accounts, 900 pages, 15 groups, and a smattering of Instagram accounts that were linked to the operation that spread pro-Chinese communist and anti-U.S. propaganda.
The “covert influence operation” was active on more than 50 platforms, including Medium, Pinterest, Quora, Reddit, TikTok, Vimeo, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube.
The operation also focused on key U.S. allies and partners, including Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and the UK. …
Impersonating American Voters
Microsoft released its own report in September 2023, which found that China-based hackers impersonated American voters online and used artificial intelligence (AI) to create and promote divisive content during the 2022 midterm elections.
“Ahead of the 2022 U.S. midterms, Microsoft and industry partners observed CCP-affiliated social media accounts impersonating U.S. voters—new territory for CCP-affiliated [influence operations],” the report reads.
“These accounts posed as Americans across the political spectrum and responded to comments from authentic users.” …

Trying and succeeding is two different things. Someone has to really understand the mindset of the person they are trying to influence, and sometimes, when reaching across cultures and especially another country’s politics, an outsider can be clueless.
All this means is that people need to stop believing anything and everything that is posted is true. Especially postings on facebook and Instagram from random individuals but even from their trusted news sources. I have seen things posted in Epoch Times and especially by Carlson Tucker which I have checked and found out that not all the information was being presented. And this is true of IFA as well.
If you sense you are being emotionally manipulated, just ‘stop’ and check further. We need to go back to non-biased news. Reliable news sources state facts. They present both sides. They step back and allow you to decide. They shouldn’t cause you to feel emotionally charged, especially ‘self-righteous.’
It is truly remarkable that a web site that claims to present reliable news quotes the Epoch Times. You know full well it is a propaganda organisation – not a news source.
Are you also interested in stopping the US from interfering in elections in other countries? America has a long history in trying to influence elections in friendly as well as unfriendly countries. That is part of the remit for foreign operations of the CIA to fund and support political parties and publications favourable to American ambitions and business.
The Revelation of God: God as I was preparing to do my Prayer for IFA , and as I read the article on the CCP and stolen elections in 2020/2022 it brought to my attention of a passage I read in a book “ Exposing the Sources of Evil in America” I knew about demon spirits, and how they ran rampant in peoples lives slyly lying getting people to sin. What I did not know was the depth of the demonized spirit/ principality that has taken over America. – and how it operated! In Daniel 10-13-20 God gives an example of the powers of how we should be handling the situation we are in. “ 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” God what really was planted in my heart were these words “ I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” God is warning us about the strongholds and to realize that Satans kingdom is assigned to regions to carry out the evil darkness. And these influences are ready to use people, nations to try and destroy our America. As I read the statements explaining the Revelation of Of God, I knew in my spirit that their has been a lot of wrong done to believe in God and really know God as a Nation. I am not saying all people but a lot to allow this mess we are in. If All People Christians believed the First verse in the Bible we would not have the problems we are facing. “ IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. [Heb. 11:3.]“ A lot of people do not believe there is the existence of God., they have a hard time believing in divine creation. From the beginning He revealed a tangible revelation of Himself. Jesus is our Savior and His Father has given us rules, warnings, guidance throughout the Bible of what was to take place and how we must do as Christians to not be Fooled by Satan, which we have been. We need to repent for our complacency, our wicked ways, humble ourselves, from pride and begin to abhor evil. God as I have studied this article we have forgotten the first verse in the Bible. Our elections have allowed people from a ruled socialism China, that was placed here to take over America. We need to use Gods words and call upon Gods name for insight, and help as we learn to bind the forces of demonic forces and rebellion among Gods’ people. I pray that eyes, hearts, and actions of people will realize they have given Place to the devil. China is directed by Satan to take this opportunity and take ground – Ephesians 4-27” Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him].“ Gods warnings again! Little by little the CCP has infiltrated our lands in America 🇺🇸 with few being the least concerned. Gods Word is clear. For a nation to experience healing and blessings it begins with the people humbling themselves and ask repentance for their sin. 2 Chronicles 7-14” If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.“ God is the only answer to save us from CCP, this Illegal administration, the border, the elections, etc! The evilness, the Corruption, can be stopped if we place ourselves under Gods almighty hand with understanding we are nothing without Gods mercy and Grace. Father God I cry out to the heavens for repentance trusting that God is hearing these words . I am believing for a National repentance that will be the key to the greatest spiritual healing in our states and communities. God You are the only one to clean this mess up, You have picked great leaders, which is being prayed for daily, to Open His ears, His eyes, and keeps showing His love for America. We decree that the repentance shall miraculously impact government, courts, judges, schools, and pastors as well as all families. In God we Trust.
Am praying with you dear sister Priscilla in our savior Jesus name !!
America Shall be Saved !!!
Almighty Father and Savior grant us wisdom to put o the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of your Word. And to stand!!

Yes Lord God Almighty, I pray 🙏 that the upcoming elections remain strictly American and not wavered by Communism and lawless forces that come in through our wide open southern border! Prayer through strength, justice and honesty only! AMEN because only Jesus Christ can fix this chaotic mess!
This Chinese interference in our elections is unacceptable, and MUST be brought to a swift and complete halt. Thank you, Jesus, for what you will do to restore election integrity to our nation.
