Trump’s CCP Election Interference Claims May Signal Shift in China Policy: Analysts

Analysts say Trump’s speech reflects renewed focus on strategic competition with Beijing and could affect Xi Jinping’s standing at home.

President Donald Trump on July 16 said in a primetime address that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been meddling in American elections, revealing that Beijing obtained hundreds of millions of American voter records and used domestic and international networks in an effort to prevent his reelection.

He said the CCP had acquired the personal information of approximately 220 million American voters during the 2020 election cycle and suggested the data could have been used for voter registration-related activities or other unlawful purposes.

Trump also said that Beijing had conducted influence operations targeting his presidency since 2018, including efforts to weaken his electoral support, pressure him to step down, and prevent him from winning another term.

President Donald Trump said on July 16 that U.S. television networks that did not air his primetime address on election integrity should have their licenses revoked.

Trump said during his address that both NBC and ABC News had said they “would not cover the speech” in what the president described as a “rare move” by broadcast networks.

“They knew what it was about because of the fact that they don’t like the topic, because they know how corrupt our system is, and they don’t want to reveal it,” the president said.

“Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses. They use our public, multi-billion-dollar in value airwaves for absolutely no money. They pay nothing. All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty in reporting.”

Steve Yates to Newsmax: China Threat Demands Voter ID

VIDEO

By Charlie McCarthy | Friday, 17 July 2026 09:02 AM EDT

The "punctuation mark" in President Donald Trump's prime-time speech to the nation was the need for "simple procedures for voter identification and the sanctity of the ballot," The Heritage Foundation's Steve Yates told Newsmax on Friday.

Appearing on "Wake Up America" with co-hosts Sharla McBride and Marc Lotter, Yates and China expert Gordon Chang said Trump's public accusations against Beijing could mark a turning point in U.S.-China relations while renewing the administration's push for stronger election safeguards.

Yates said the most significant concern is China's alleged access to sensitive voter registration data affecting millions of Americans.

"Two-thirds of all Americans had their sensitive voting data compromised to the People's Republic of China," Yates said, arguing Beijing could combine voter information with previously stolen government records and other personal data to identify individuals vulnerable to influence campaigns.

He referenced China's theft of Office of Personnel Management records and said the combination of multiple databases could enable sophisticated future operations targeting American voters.

"If it wasn't in the 2020 election, the combination of this aggregate data is significantly dangerous for manipulation going forward," Yates said.

"That was the focus of the speech that stood out as the punctuation mark ... you have to have simple procedures for voter identification and the sanctity of the ballot, and that ultimately gets to the bill the president is calling for."

The Trump administration on Thursday released intelligence documents it says support concerns about Chinese efforts to obtain U.S. voter information. Chinese officials have denied interfering in American elections or attempting to influence U.S. voters.

Chang, author of "Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America," said Trump's direct criticism of Beijing was unusual for a U.S. president. 

"We haven't heard language like this from a president since [Dwight D.] Eisenhower," Chang said. "That suggests that there could very well be a change in the way the United States deals with China."

Chang also noted Beijing's reluctance to respond directly when asked whether Chinese President Xi Jinping would visit Washington, saying Chinese leaders "hate being called out in public."

Yates emphasized that while the newly released documents do not show China altering vote totals, the broader threat lies in influence operations and exploiting weaknesses in election systems.

"They learned a lot about how to manipulate American human behavior by watching what happened in COVID," he said, arguing that mass mail-in voting during the pandemic exposed vulnerabilities that foreign adversaries could seek to exploit.

He also pointed to a Department of Homeland Security briefing on cybersecurity updates designed to address software vulnerabilities in election systems.

"If our constitutional republic is going to stand," Yates said, "this sanctity of the vote has to get fixed first."

Republicans have made voter identification and election security central priorities this Congress, with Trump continuing to urge Senate passage of the SAVE America Act, while Democrats argue existing safeguards already protect federal elections and have warned the proposal could make voter registration more difficult for some eligible Americans.

Introducing ‘Why Taiwan Matters, Now More than Ever’

COMMENTARY

By Tom McDevitt and Ian Everhart - Thursday, July 2, 2026

OPINION:

As we celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial, we are pleased to present this special section entitled, “Why Taiwan Matters, Now More than Ever” as a sponsored content publication in The Washington Times. This is the first in a series by the Taiwan Freedom Project provided as an educational resource for citizen leaders.

Among our Asian friends, Taiwan uniquely embodies the American ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Its 23 million citizens have overcome extraordinary adversity and achieved the near-miraculous: republican self-government, 30 years of democracy, extraordinary prosperity and a free society. Through their hard work, talent, creativity and entrepreneurial genius, the Taiwanese have built their island into an indispensable global center of innovation and technological advancement.

Tragically, Taiwan is threatened like never before by the People’s Republic of China controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), whose record of appalling crimes, tyranny, imperial aggression and thwarted human potential is far too long to list here. This CCP threat is only 110 miles across the Taiwan Strait.

We agree with House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar, who writes for this section, that “now more than ever” we must deter the CCP’s aggression. We believe Taiwan to be the most important geopolitical question facing America and the free world. That is why we have undertaken to launch the Taiwan Freedom Project and to publish this new series of special sections in English and Mandarin.

Americans and our allies must embrace the full spectrum of statecraft to ensure the next 250 years are defined by peace and freedom. The contributors in the following pages offer profound insights for policymakers and the public alike. This publication is organized into three key areas: 

Why Taiwan Matters, Now More than Ever: We introduce Taiwan’s immense importance for American strategic interests, regional stability, the global economy, technology, public health, human rights and culture.

The Threat and the Consequences: Our experts describe the dangers of complacency in the face of the CCP’s escalating aggression and evolving tactics.

Bipartisan Lawmakers Urge Trump to Ban Chinese Seafood

‘Chinese seafood is too often produced through forced labor and enters our market at prices honest American fishermen cannot match,’ the lawmakers stated.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers wants President Donald Trump to ban seafood sourced by China-linked vessels or processed in China from entering the US. market, over concerns about illegal fishing and forced labor. 

The request was made in a July 14 letter from the chair, co-chair, and two commissioners of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, a congressional group tasked with monitoring Beijing’s compliance with international human rights standards. The commission released the letter on July 16. 

“The United States market is awash in criminally tainted seafood from China,” the lawmakers wrote. 

“Chinese seafood is too often produced through forced labor and enters our market at prices honest American fishermen cannot match,” the lawmakers added. “That is not competition. It is abuse shipped into the United States.”

Commentary

A few weeks ago, my rabbi made a statement that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. He referenced a Jewish mystical text teaching that memory resides in the same place as holiness.

I don’t know enough about Jewish mysticism to explore that idea theologically, but as a writer, a publishing executive, and a Jewish woman, I found myself asking a different question: Why has remembering always been considered sacred?

This year, two anniversaries only a month apart have occupied my thoughts.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump has weighed in on the race to replace the late Lindsey Graham in the Senate, calling on his sister, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-S.C.), to run for his seat.

“Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a winner all of her life and, should she accept, has my complete and total endorsement in the special election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 17.

Graham, who had served in the Senate since 2003, passed away on July 11 after a cardiac episode following a trip to Ukraine. He won the Republican primary for his seat in June.

Iran should have listened when President Donald Trump gave them multiple warnings. They are now deep in the "find out" stage as they continue to transgress. 

Another ship tried to run the U.S. blockade, but it did not fare well when U.S. Marines came knocking.

We know Democratic socialists, aka communists, think government should be the be-all-end-all. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is no different. Since he became Mayor of America's largest city, he has spoken out on things that are just a bit out of his purview, like Israel and the war with Iran. But Hizzoner is not letting a little thing like boundaries keep him from sticking his nose into things that are not exactly among his duties as mayor — and it might get him in some hot water.

Saul Loeb/Pool via AP


Newly available declassified documents and recent statements from President Trump are shining a light on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) theft of personal data belonging to a staggering 220 million American voters.

According to investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, that massive haul — which can be combined with other hacked records such as 2015 security clearance applications and health data—creates serious risks for voter registration fraud, identity theft, and espionage recruitment.

The reporting paints a picture of a massive national security failure compounded by politicized intelligence.

The President, as reported by RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar, announced "the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," during a primetime address to the nation on Thursday.

Among the documents is evidence of "China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files."

It's a revelation that even had CNN calling it "an alarming disclosure."
