China conspiring to remove US President a shocking allegation

Washington: US Vice President, Mike Pence has accused China of interfering in the US election as they do not want Trump to continue as the US President.

Pence in his recent speech said, “China conspiracy and interference in the US surpasses that of Russia. I was told about this by our intelligence agencies. US people need to be aware of this. China is targeting industries and states that would play an important role in the 2018 election. China is using its trade, political and its military might to increase its influence. Industry, analysts and media needs to be vigilant and needs to kill such conspiracies against the US.” Pence also asserted not backing out of aggressive policies adopted by Trump administration against China.
