Quoting recently declassified documents of CIA, U.S. President Donald Trump said China meddled in elections to prevent him from getting re-elected after his first term. China's strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the POTUS, he claimed.

Trump: China engaged in other election related activities to undermine my first administration in our 2020 campaign. They did not want, and they just didn't want it. They fought like hell, not to have it Donald Trump to win, and for good reason."
"As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote, in mid 2018, the Chinese Communist Party's policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. President in an effort to reduce the U.S. President's votes, and make him resign or prevent his reelection."
"Isn't that nice? Also, in mid 2018, China was working to influence the results of the U.S. midterm elections, and later the results of the 2020 presidential election itself."
"Separately in mid 2019, the Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. President."
"They wanted to just make you sound like your President wasn't so hot, when actually your President has done a great job and they did everything possible to do exactly that. Going on, this document says, and this is by the CIA, the strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the President of the United States of America."
