Vice President Mike Pence said China “wants a different American president” and is “meddling” in US domestic politics to limit Donald Trump’s power. Mr Pence, speaking at the Washington-based conservative think tank the Hudson Institute, said Mr Trump’s “leadership is working” despite what China’s actions may indicate. “China is meddling in America’s democracy,” he said, accusing Beijing of trying to use trade, its military, and diplomacy to increase its own influence around the world.
