Chinese government-linked hackers have been targeting U.S. election infrastructure ahead of the 2020 presidential election, White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien warned on Sunday. 'China - like Russia, like Iran - they've engaged in cyberattacks and phishing and that sort of thing with respect to our election infrastructure, with respect to websites and that sort of thing.' 'Whether it’s China, Russia or Iran, we’re not going to put up with it,' O'Brien said. The body also recently stated that China would prefer President Donald Trump does not win reelection. O’Brien said the Trump administration had 'made it very clear' to Russia to stay out of the election.
