Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: China wanted Donald Trump to lose the 2020 presidential election.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Some intelligence indicated that Chinese officials preferred Trump to lose or considered influence efforts. However, a 2021 intelligence assessment concluded that China did not view either Trump or Joe Biden winning as sufficiently advantageous to justify the risks of being caught interfering in the election.
