After selling his U.S. software company ThoughtWorks for about $785 million in 2017, Neville Roy Singham, now based in Shanghai, has been devoting his millions to spreading Chinese Communist Party propaganda, including by funding riotous socialist protests around the world.
In an update on his activities, Fox News reports that these expenditures include contributions to the campaigns of American commie politicians like Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar. The contributions don’t amount to a lot but confirm where his and their sympathies lie (November 10, 2026).
A Shanghai-based tycoon known for pushing Chinese Communist Party talking points, whose activist network is flooding Capitol Hill this week, has directly funded some of the most powerful progressives in Congress, including members of “The Squad.”
Federal Election Commission records show that Neville Roy Singham and his wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, have given more than a combined $47,000 to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Chuy García, D-Ill.
Omar’s campaign took $4,200 from the couple from 2019 to 2023, according to FEC records. Singham gave her campaign $2,700 in March 2019, just weeks after she took office, and Evans gave $1,500 in two contributions in November and December 2023. None of it has been refunded.
Sanders’ campaigns have taken in at least $6,800 from the couple, according to FEC records, most of it for his presidential bids. Singham gave $2,700 to Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. Evans gave the 2016 campaign $2,800, of which it refunded $200, and at least $252 to his 2020 campaign in 2019. She also gave $1,250 to his Senate campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, in 2011.
García’s campaign took in $1,000 from Singham in August 2018, according to FEC records. He was running for his first term in Congress at the time, after winning the Democratic primary for Illinois’ 4th Congressional District, Singham’s home city of Chicago. The campaign has not refunded the contribution.
Jayapal has received more from the couple than any other member of Congress, a net $35,700 from 2016 to 2022, according to FEC records. Singham gave her campaign $17,800 and none of it was refunded.
Evans gave $22,900, and the campaign refunded $5,000 of it in three payments between 2020 and 2023, leaving $17,900. Most of the couple’s money came in 2019 and 2021, including back-to-back maximum contributions from Singham in both years.
One reason that the reporter may be noting whether the Singham-Evans contributions were refunded even a little is that a pro-American, pro-capitalist candidate with scruples would not want his campaign to receive any funds from pro-communist, pro–Chinese Communist Party donors. But this kind of concern can’t be the motive when a campaign keeps part and returns part of the money. One either is or is not accepting campaign contributions from Neville Roy Singham.
Despite his abode and sympathies, Singham is reportedly still a U.S. citizen. So accepting campaign contributions from him, as long as they are his own funds and don’t constitute funneling of CCP-provided envelopes of cash, would be at least technically legal. Or let’s say legal-ish.
