近一段时间以来，中共党媒对美国大选的报导忽冷忽热，对川普和拜登的态度也忽左忽右。中共高层当然要押宝拜登，但对美国大选的进展实在不敢确定，自然因为深度介入了此次美国选举舞弊，完全了解川普胜选的事实，很担心真相难以掩盖，美国参议院又刚刚召开了关于选举舞弊的听证会。
在中共高层的直接授意下，中共党媒总体上小心翼翼，一直尽量表现出事不关己的样子，生怕泄漏了与拜登的不正当关系，也生怕被牵连到选举舞弊，引来美国的强烈反击。但新华社此时却高调否认介入美国大选，又一次上演了“此地无银三百两”的典故。
这则短报导的核心就一句话：“中方一贯奉行不干涉别国内政原则，有关中国影响美国大选的说法纯属无中生有。”这是中共外交部发言人汪文斌的原话。
当日的中共外交部记者会上，彭博社记者问：美国国家情报总监办公室主任拉特克利夫称，本应向国会提交的关于美国大选受外国影响的机密报告未能按时提交。据称，若报告不能充分反映中国对美国家安全构成威胁，拉本人将拒绝签署。外交部对此有何评论？
这位记者的提问应该经过了思考，希望能引出一些即兴回答，避开中共外交部的照本宣科。结果，汪文斌确实不假思索地说露了嘴。
汪文斌回答很简短，他首先说，“美国国家情报总监前不久曾经声称中国是美国的‘头号国家安全威胁’”，并称“中美应当合作而非对抗”，之后又说，“中方一贯奉行不干涉内政原则。有关中国影响美国大选的说法纯属无中生有”。
记者的提问，并未直接提及中共介入了美国大选，但汪文斌却主动辟谣，实际是一大失言。这不是提前安排的中共媒体提问，没有准备稿子，汪文斌于是脱口而出。
他甚至还要求美国“合作”，言外之意，美国不要追究中共介入美国大选。
民主党和拜登团队确实很“合作”，他们是美国大选舞弊的获益者，正在试图否认选举舞弊的事实，当然也就不会追究中共政权，美国大选舞弊本就是美国左派和中共的串通行为。民主党应该也知道，如今被中共抓到了如此巨大的把柄，之前应该还有更多权钱交易的把柄、美色利诱的把柄，也只能与中共“合作”了。
记者的提问无意中钓出了大鱼。汪文斌虽然失言，只要无人刻意提及，也就混过去了。然而，令人蹊跷的是，新华社竟然专门重点报导，故意强调这样的说法，表面上似乎毫无逻辑，实质上却反映了中共高层的真正担忧。汪文斌的失言，实际也是中共高层反复叮嘱的结果，任何时候都要断然否认介入美国大选的事实，汪文斌自然牢记在心，此次只是答非所问而已。
川普政府最近的一系列制裁，实际就是在反击中共介入美国大选、直接参与选举舞弊，也引发了中共内部的激烈争论，习近平的权威再次遭遇挑战。美国的反击并未结束，这是中共高层目前最担心的。中共无法阻止美国更多的反击，但中共高层却不想承担失误的责任，更不能落下介入美国大选的口实。但如此惊慌失措的否认，相当于用中共党媒高调发表声明，确实反映了中共高层内心的恐慌。
中共内部的人当然知道，这样的动作实际在试图掩盖中共高层的重大失误，把美中关系继续恶化的责任都推给美国，以煽动民族主义，中共高层再来扮演强硬领袖的形象，以维系自己的权威。在中国以外，应该没人会相信中共与美国大选舞弊无关，美国政府已经掌握了证据。
这样的否认，实际是中共高层的一种自嘲，与其说是苍白无力的辩解，倒不如说是自救的手段之一。中共高层声称要与美国合作，实质却在深入对抗；中共高层要显示能与美国平起平坐，实际却十分惧怕川普政府。汪文斌的失言和中共党媒的高调否认，把中共高层的底气都漏光了。

On December 17, a report on the front page of the Communist Party's Xinhua News Agency website was prominent: "Foreign Ministry Refutes Claims of Chinese Influence in U.S. Election: Purely Non-Founded.
For some time now, the Chinese Communist Party media has been reporting hot and cold on the U.S. election, and its attitude toward Trump and Biden has been left and right. Of course, the top echelon of the Chinese Communist Party wants to bet on Biden, but it is not sure about the progress of the U.S. election. Naturally, because of its deep involvement in the U.S. election fraud, it is fully aware of the fact that Trump won the election and is worried that the truth will be difficult to cover up, and the U.S. Senate has just held a hearing on election fraud.
Under the direct instruction of the Communist Party's top management, the Communist Party's media has been generally cautious and has been trying to act as if it is not concerned, for fear of leaking the improper relationship with Biden and being implicated in the election fraud, which will lead to strong repercussions from the United States. However, Xinhua News Agency denied in a high profile manner that it had interfered in the U.S. election at this time, once again playing the "no silver in the silver here" story.
The core of this short report is one sentence: "China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and the claim that China influenced the U.S. election is purely unfounded." Those were the exact words of Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin.
At a press conference at the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the same day, a Bloomberg reporter asked: Director of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe said a classified report on foreign influence on the U.S. election that was supposed to be submitted to Congress was not submitted on time. If the report does not adequately reflect the threat China poses to U.S. national security, Ratcliffe will allegedly refuse to sign it. What does the Foreign Ministry have to say about this?
The reporter's question should have been thought out, hoping to elicit some impromptu answers that would avoid the Chinese foreign ministry's scripted approach. As a result, Wang Wenbin did reveal his mouth without thinking.
Wang began by saying that "the U.S. Director of National Intelligence once claimed not long ago that China was the 'number one national security threat' to the United States" and that "China and the United States should cooperate, not confront each other. " before adding, "China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs. Claims that China influenced the U.S. election are purely unfounded."
The reporter's question did not directly mention the Chinese Communist Party's involvement in the U.S. election, but Wang Wenbin took the initiative to dispel the rumor, which was actually a major gaffe. This was not a pre-arranged question from the Chinese media, and Wang Wenbin did not prepare a script, so he blurted it out.
He even asked the U.S. to "cooperate," implying that the U.S. should not pursue the Chinese Communist Party's involvement in the U.S. election.
The Democratic Party and Biden's team are indeed "cooperative", as they are the beneficiaries of the US election fraud, and are trying to deny the fact that the election was fraudulent, so of course they will not pursue the Chinese Communist regime, as the US election fraud was originally an act of collusion between the US left and the Chinese Communist Party. The Democratic Party should also know that now that the Chinese Communist Party has caught such a huge leverage, there should be more leverage of power and money dealings and beauty and seduction beforehand, and they can only "cooperate" with the Chinese Communist Party.
The reporter's question inadvertently caught a big fish. Although Wang Wenbin made a slip of the tongue, as long as no one deliberately mentions it, it will also be mixed up. However, what is strange is that Xinhua News Agency has highlighted such a statement on purpose, which seems to be illogical on the surface, but in essence reflects the real concern of the top level of the CCP. Wang Wenbin's slip of the tongue is actually the result of repeated instructions from the CCP's top brass to categorically deny any involvement in the U.S. election at all times, which Wang Wenbin naturally took to heart, but this time he was just answering a question that was not the case.
The Trump administration's recent series of sanctions are actually a counter-attack against the CCP's involvement in the U.S. election and direct participation in election fraud, and have sparked a heated debate within the CCP, with Xi Jinping's authority being challenged once again. The U.S. counterattack is not over, and this is what the CCP's top brass is currently most worried about. The CCP cannot prevent more U.S. counterattacks, but the CCP top brass does not want to take responsibility for the blunders, let alone fall for interfering in the U.S. election. But such a panicked denial, which amounts to a high-profile statement using the CCP's party media, does reflect the inner panic of the CCP's top brass.
Those inside the CCP certainly know that such a move is actually an attempt to cover up a major failure at the top of the CCP to put all the blame on the U.S. for the continued deterioration of U.S.-China relations in order to foment nationalism, with the top of the CCP coming back to play the image of a tough leader to maintain its authority. Outside of China, no one should believe that the CCP had nothing to do with the U.S. election fraud and that the U.S. government already has the evidence.
Such a denial is actually a self-deprecation by the CCP top brass, rather than a pale and feeble defense, but rather one of the means to save themselves. The CCP top brass claims to cooperate with the U.S., but in essence is in deep confrontation; the CCP top brass wants to show that it can be on par with the U.S., but in reality is very afraid of the Trump administration. Wang Wenbin's slip of the tongue and the high-profile denials by the CCP's party media have leaked the bottom out of the CCP's top brass.
