Chinese Funding Anti-Semitism?
Powerlineblog ^ | August 15, 2026 | John Hinderaker

Code Pink is a far-left organization that is anti-American and pro-Chinese. (Code Pink has run a “China is not our enemy” campaign.) Its U.K. branch organizes marches and demonstrations intended to demonize Israel and support the “Palestinians.” It consistently accuses Israel of “genocide” in Gaza. Now, investigators are looking into whether Code Pink is a Chinese agent:

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 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.

Neville Roy Singham, now operating out of Shanghai, is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.

The facts known so far are quite damning. In the U.K., around $319,000 has been traced from Singham-linked firms to the British Code Pink entity. In the U.S., Code Pink has received more than $1.4 million from Singham-linked sources since 2017 — about 25% of its total funding, according to Senator Tom Cotton. Medea Benjamin, the other Code Pink founder along with Jodie Evans, told the Washington Times: “We get zero money from the Chinese Communist Party,” a classic instance of denying a charge that hasn’t been made.

This sort of enemy interference in Western countries’ affairs is conventionally described as an attempt by the Chinese (or, in other cases, the Russians) to sow discord based on existing Western divisions, as though these dictatorships had no dog in the fight. I don’t believe that is the case here.

I think the Chinese Communists, Code Pink, and other far-left groups and individuals hate not just the United States, but Western civilization. Jews, and by extension the State of Israel, have contributed a major part of the foundation of Western civilization. So Communists and other anti-Americans–always, as far as I know–hate Jews and Israel.

In any case, Code Pink is a contemptible organization regardless of which anti-Americans are funding it.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

What would certain people be saying if Chinese money was flowing to pro-Israel organizations? Which will never happen in a million years.

For many years it has been a common practice for foreign nations to fund leftist organizations in the Free World. Firstly Russia and now China as the major culprit.

This would be a futile exercise without a willing accomplice in the media to repeat the screed of the left wing organizations getting funding. They have done the same thing in academia of which the media is a product.

The rot is deep in our society. This rot is not new. It started before WWII in the 30s. Academia was the first target. They were successful.

Every significant power has a destabilizing and “Balkanizing” effort against its competitors (and some of its friends).

I guess criticizing the other’s efforts to do the same is just par for the course.

I mean, the college is “helping” them to hate Israel.

The quantity of people entering college who hate Israel and the quantity of people completing college(on the other side) who hate Israel.............

The “completers” is a greater quantity of haters. Just sayin.

The colleges are not alone for sure, but the colleges are indeed doing this. The colleges are guilty.

The IRGC and Qatar have contributed as much or more than China.

Code Pink commissars announce they get zero money from the Chinese Communist Party.

Yeah, well, I was in a group that received a briefing from a Chinese government official in the US, explainibg how to do business in China. First off you will be required to form a new subsidiary company in China, in which the Chinese government will own shares. We were told that is how companies operate in China.

So if they get money from a Chinese company, that action is known to and approved, if not instigated, by the Chinese government.

Pull the other one, ladies.

The CCP, not China, will fund anything that hurts the WEst and especially the US. Just like Stalin did. All commie states recognize that a free West is the ultimate blockage to world control.

Well, the Chinese have money - and the Democrat/Commie party has an abundance of useful idiots - so, it's possible.
