You may have heard that THE RUSSIANS!!!!! stole the election from some old bag-lady with a serious alcohol-and-self-entitlement problem by helping Donald Trump.
That's funny, because it's exactly what was going on in 1996--except then, the Chinese Communists were purchasing the Democrat National Committee.
The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an effort by the People's Republic of China to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the Clinton administration and also involved the fund-raising practices of the administration itself.
While questions regarding the U.S. Democratic Party's fund-raising activities first arose over a Los Angeles Times article published on September 21, 1996,[1] China's alleged role in the affair first gained public attention when Bob Woodward and Brian Duffy of The Washington Post published a story stating that a United States Department of Justice
investigation into the fund-raising activities had uncovered evidence
that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources
to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the 1996 presidential campaign. The journalists wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC[2] in violation of United States law forbidding non-American citizens or non-permanent residents from giving monetary donations to United States politicians and political parties. A Republican investigator of the controversy stated the Chinese plan targeted both presidential and congressional United States elections, while Democratic Senators said the evidence showed the Chinese targeted only congressional elections. The government of the People's Republic of China denied all accusations.

So far, it's worked very well for them (see below post for more.)
