BEIJING, July 17. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump's allegation that China interfered in US elections is entirely untrue and constitutes malicious slander, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.
"Such statements by the US side are pure fabrication and malicious slander," Lin said at a briefing, commenting on the US president's allegation.
"China has always adhered to the principle of noninterference in the internal affairs of other countries, has never been interested in doing so, and has never interfered in elections in the United States," he said.
Lin added that Washington's allegations of Chinese interference are "groundless, as has long been proven."
"On the contrary, it is the United States that interferes in the internal affairs of other countries at every opportunity and has long conducted widespread surveillance," he said.
