A startling investigation has revealed a hidden network of funding and influence connecting a prominent anti-war group to a Chinese government-aligned financier. Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink, is married to Neville Roy Singham, a man who directs substantial financial support to far-left organizations and initiatives.
The New York Times recently published a detailed exposé, uncovering how Code Pink operates not as an independent anti-war voice, but as a key component of a sophisticated influence campaign defending China and disseminating its propaganda. This campaign is fueled by Mr. Singham, described as a socialist benefactor with deep ties to the Chinese government’s media apparatus.
Evans, a veteran of Democratic Party politics – having managed Jerry Brown’s 1992 presidential campaign and hosted fundraisers for Barack Obama – married Singham in 2017. Since then, a significant portion of Code Pink’s funding, over $1.4 million, has originated from groups linked to her husband.
The investigation details a complex web of nonprofits and shell companies used to channel hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations that blend progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points. Groups like Code Pink, once critical of China’s human rights record, now actively defend its policies, including the internment of Uyghurs.
Singham’s influence extends far beyond Code Pink. He operates from an office in Shanghai shared with a Chinese media company explicitly dedicated to “telling China’s story well” – a common euphemism for propaganda. This company produces content for global media outlets and progressive think tanks.
Further investigation reveals a pattern of coordinated responses to geopolitical events. Following reports of a U.S. operation in Venezuela, a network of organizations linked to Singham rapidly mobilized protests across the United States, framing the event as an act of American aggression with remarkable speed and consistency.
This wasn’t a spontaneous outpouring of public sentiment, but a meticulously orchestrated campaign. Organizations like The People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation disseminated identical messaging and protest materials within hours of the initial reports, demonstrating a high degree of coordination.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation, a Marxist group openly supportive of the Chinese Communist Party, played a central role in organizing these protests. They have previously received funding from Singham’s network and actively promote pro-China narratives, even denying the events of Tiananmen Square.
The evidence suggests a deliberate effort to exploit and amplify anti-American sentiment, utilizing a network of seemingly independent organizations to advance a foreign agenda. This raises serious questions about the true motivations of groups presenting themselves as champions of peace and social justice.
The scale of this operation is significant, with at least $275 million flowing through Singham’s network to groups worldwide. The investigation underscores a disturbing trend: foreign money being used to sow discord and undermine American interests from within.
