(The Daily Caller News Foundation)—China recently promised the Biden administration that it would not interfere in the U.S. 2024 presidential elections, CNN reported on Tuesday.
Chinese President Xi Jinping assured President Joe Biden in November that his country would not meddle in the 2024 elections, a promise made again by Beijing’s foreign ministry to the White House over the weekend, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN. China has been credibly accused on several occasions of interfering in U.S. elections, more so in recent years because it doesn’t fear retaliation from the Biden administration, according to declassified intelligence.
Biden first brought up the matter to Xi on the sidelines of a key international summit in San Francisco in November, where the two had met for the first time in over a year amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and China, the two sources told CNN. Xi promised Biden that it would not be an issue going into this year’s election cycle.
The promise was made again last weekend by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to White House National Security Council (NSC) Advisor Jake Sullivan, the sources told CNN. The Biden administration is reportedly keeping a close watch to see if Beijing will hold up its end of the bargain.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has made intentional decisions and actions to try and upend the stability of U.S. elections, especially in the 2020 presidential elections and the 2022 midterm elections, according to a declassified U.S. intelligence report from December. Beijing’s goal in doing so is to undermine U.S. democracy, which the CCP perceives as a growing threat to its regime.
The CCP attempted to interfere in the 2022 midterm elections much more aggressively than it did in 2020, likely because it didn’t fear retaliation from the Biden administration as much as it did from the former Trump administration, according to the intelligence report.
“PRC influence actors [had] more freedom to operate ahead of the midterms than the presidential election in 2020, probably because PRC officials believed that Beijing was under less scrutiny during the midterms and because they did not expect the current Administration to retaliate as severely as they feared in 2020,” the report states.
One way China tries to interfere in U.S. elections is by influencing public opinion and discourse. China does this in part through cyber operations, including by creating social media accounts pretending to be American voters and then promoting divisive political opinions and pro-Beijing propaganda, according to a Microsoft Threat Intelligence report from September.
In some cases, these CCP accounts are run by “bots.” Facebook parent company Meta shut down thousands of Chinese bot accounts posing as American voters that were working to create political chaos online, the company reported in its Adverisal Threat Report in November.
A senior intelligence official said last week that the National Security Agency (NSA) had not seen any recent signs of foreign meddling ahead of the U.S. elections in November, according to CNN. The FBI and Department of Justice have taken legal actions to try and prevent Chinese cyber operations from interfering in the elections.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
