Mike Walker @newnarrative.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I thought I remembered this but checked with some old colleagues: The National Intelligence Council concluded at the time that China did not deploy interference efforts. I am told, “they considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election” 1231
Mike Walker @newnarrative.bsky.social · 16/07/2026However, it was well documented that Russia made extensive, systematic, and highly coordinated attempts to influence the 2020 United States presidential election. This was well-known in and out of government. Unclear where CBS got their information. 43910
Mike Walker @newnarrative.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I retired at the end of 2022. I am told by colleagues that following the midterms that year the NIC looked at Chinese influence operations in those elections. They found that a subset of bipartisan US candidates were targeted with Beijing focused on candidates who held strong anti-China positions 2154
