Trump accuses China of massive US voter data theft, Beijing denies

Former US President Donald Trump has accused China of orchestrating a massive data breach involving 220 million US voter files, alleging Beijing interfered in American elections. China's foreign ministry has vehemently denied these claims, calling them unfounded smears and asserting its policy of non-intervention in other countries' affairs. This accusation, made during a prime-time address, risks further straining the already fragile diplomatic relationship between the US and China, potentially impacting future high-level engagements.
