A Global Web of Chinese Propaganda Leads to a U.S. Tech Mogul

The Times unraveled a financial network that stretches from Chicago to Shanghai and uses American nonprofits to push Chinese talking points worldwide.

From a think tank in Massachusetts to an event space in Manhattan, from a political party in South Africa to news organizations in India and Brazil, investigators tracked hundreds of millions of dollars to groups linked to Mr. Singham that mix progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points.

Some, like No Cold War, a loose collective run mostly by American and British activists who say the West’s rhetoric against China has distracted from issues like climate change and racial injustice, popped up in recent years. Others, like the American antiwar group Code Pink, have morphed over time. Code Pink once criticized China’s rights record but now defends its internment of the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs, which human rights experts have labeled a crime against humanity.

'They are dealers, not leaders’: Retired judges, officers [in India] write to [Indian] President seeking action against ‘China-backed portal’

"We have no words to describe such people except as traitors. … we are giving too wide a leverage to all kinds of inimical forces under the garb of ‘free press’. … The email exchanges that are in the public domain establish beyond doubt that these people are not leaders but dealers. They are not columnists but actually fifth columnists,” the letter said.

Every single billionaire is a policy failure.

They shouldn’t exist in civilized society.

If this guy is an unregistered foreign agent, he needs to be in prison. Full fucking stop.

When is hexbear sending its CCP Defense Brigade to this thread?

I’m really wondering whether you’ve even clicked the link. Your comment may or may not be true, but it’s completely unrelated to the linked article.

There are several articles there. The first one is about Lebanon. Like I said, you might have to scroll to the one about China if the hash link isn’t taking you there

You’re way off topic here. That’s what OP meant by their response. They are not saying that your article fails to support your point.

Indeed, his associates say Mr. Singham has long admired Maoism, the Communist ideology that gave rise to modern China.

Replying with an article that refutes this claim is not on-topic?

Maoism <> Marxism.

So, yes, you are off-topic.
