One way the Chinese Communist Party backs hard-left and pro-terrorist agitation in the United States is through billionaire Neville Roy Singham.
In one of its anti-CCP moods, The New York Times did a big and definitive writeup about his political work a few years ago, concluding that a “Global Web of Chinese Propaganda Leads to a U.S. Tech Mogul,” Singham. So it’s not a shocker if he’s also funding Code Pink and other commie troublemaking in the United Kingdom.
Grand jury
Since 2017, Singham (shown above with his wife, Code Pink cofounder Jodie Evans) has splurged some $278 million on spreading the CCP or CCP-adjacent propaganda in the U.S.
Thanks perhaps to the Times and other reporting, a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York is now looking into whether he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act and unlawfully funneled money through his nonprofits. Fox News reports that this probe “is part of a slew of investigations that includes ones launched by Congressional committees and top lawmakers in Washington D.C.”
The United Kingdom has gotten caught up in the inquiries, “The Telegraph can disclose” (August 13, 2026).
US politicians investigating alleged secret Chinese backing of Code Pink, a far-Left feminist protest group established in the US, are examining its activities in Britain as part of an inquiry into foreign interference.
Code Pink has organised protests in the UK against Britain’s involvement in “the genocide in Gaza”, encouraged its activists to demonstrate outside RAF bases, and issued statements claiming that Britain’s leaders have been “bought by Zionism”.
The investigation comes amid concern that Beijing is seeking to exploit divisive causes in the West to deepen social tensions and wage what critics describe as “political warfare” against its adversaries.
The Telegraph can reveal that the US investigation is examining £250,000 in alleged payments to a company linked to Code Pink in the UK from firms connected to Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon accused of financing Chinese propaganda around the world.
Jason Smith, the chairman of the US Congress ways and means committee, told The Telegraph: “It’s clear from the ways and means committee investigation that Singham’s money and influence does not stop at America’s borders. The committee is well aware that Singham’s funding is supporting pro-Hamas and pro-communist causes not only in the United States, but also overseas, including in the United Kingdom.”
Conservative MP Alicia Kearns notes that the threat of the Chinese Communist Party is “not abstract. It is made up of these cut-outs who industrialise interference in our democracy, organising and deploying groups parroting seditious Chinese Communist Party narratives.” Kearns wants the UK to conduct its own investigations.
Admirer of Mao, Chávez
Singham takes no orders from the CCP, he told The New York Times in 2023. “I am solely guided by my beliefs, which are my long-held personal views.” When it comes to lockstep furthering of the Party’s agenda, he’s his own man.
“Indeed,” the Times reported, “his associates say Mr. Singham has long admired Maoism, the Communist ideology that gave rise to modern China. He praised Venezuela under the leftist president Hugo Chávez as a ‘phenomenally democratic place.’ And a decade before moving to China, he said the world could learn from its governing approach.”
