China Denies Election Interference Amid Canadian Security Claims

China's Foreign Ministry has categorically denied allegations from Canadian security authorities regarding potential interference in Canada’s upcoming general election scheduled for April 28. Spokesman Guo Jiakun emphasized that China adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, asserting that it has no interest in meddling with Canada's electoral process. This response follows claims by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) that foreign entities, particularly China and India, are likely to employ AI tools to disrupt the election. CSIS highlighted the risks of foreign interference, which could undermine public trust in Canada's democratic system, despite previous investigations showing that past foreign efforts did not affect election outcomes. The tension between Canada and China remains high, exacerbated by tariff disputes and recent diplomatic conflicts. Meanwhile, the international community watches closely as concerns over election integrity grow amid the rise of AI-driven disinformation tactics.
