A commission of U.S. government experts warned today about a “small but growing” amount of evidence that China is seeking to influence America’s elections, in a report released a day ahead of an expected meeting between President Biden and Chinese general secretary Xi Jinping.

The panel was created by Congress to report on the national-security risks posed by Washington’s trade relationship with the People’s Republic. It issues a report with findings and recommendations every year.
