China Bankrolling Democratic Socialist Movement in America
A Shanghai-based tech millionaire with alleged Chinese Communist Party ties is funding far-left U.S. political movements, prompting national security concerns about Beijing's influence operations.
According to New York Post, Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based Maoist tech millionaire, has been channeling substantial funds into radical organizations including the crypto-communist People’s Forum, which orchestrates protest activity supporting Hamas terrorism and the Iranian regime. His wife co-leads extremist group Code Pink, while his niece holds significant influence within the Democratic Socialists of America and serves as an adviser to Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The source of the Singham fortune warrants serious scrutiny. While the family accumulated wealth through the tech sector, intelligence analysts question whether Beijing engineered their commercial success to create a financial pipeline for subverting the United States, the primary obstacle to Chinese Communist Party global hegemony.
The State Department has officially designated the Singham network as an instrument of Chinese propaganda and influence operations. Evidence suggests this network is not an isolated case.
AppLovin Connection Raises Red Flags
The recently formed political action committee American Priorities, which identifies as “antizionist,” backed nearly every successful far-left Democratic primary candidate in recent elections. The PAC draws much of its funding from technology executives who made fortunes through Beijing-favored mobile advertising and data firm AppLovin, as reported by Liel Liebovitz at Tablet.
AppLovin’s meteoric commercial success remains unexplained, with revenue reports featuring opaque cash flows between supposedly independent entities of questionable legitimacy, alongside potential click-farm fraud schemes.
Federal authorities blocked AppLovin’s attempted 2016 sale to a Chinese state-backed private equity firm on national security grounds.
Among the company’s largest individual shareholders is Hao Tang, a Chinese national with reported CCP connections who allegedly maintains covert control of the firm through offshore shell companies. JPMorgan Chase terminated its lucrative banking relationship with Tang in February due to concerns about his business practices.
Millions Flowing to Radical Candidates
American Priorities deployed millions of dollars during the recent primary cycle supporting candidates with extreme anti-American positions, including Darializa Avila Chevalier, who opposes national borders and imprisonment for convicted murderers. The vast majority of this funding originated from former AppLovin executives Omer Hasan, Mohammad Waqas Javed, and Tariq Afaq Ahmed.
While direct evidence linking these technology executives to Beijing’s strategic interests remains circumstantial, China’s documented pattern of interference in American political processes cannot be ignored.
Broader Pattern of Chinese Interference
The New York Times reported last week that China, Russia, and Iran are actively promoting manufactured opposition to new American data centers in a coordinated effort to impede the pace of United States technological innovation.
Suspected Beijing operatives have achieved influence over Governor Kathy Hochul and her predecessor, as well as advisers to then-Mayor Eric Adams. New York State-funded nonprofits with China connections appear to have meddled in electoral processes.
In California, Chinese influence operations have targeted politicians ranging from the late Senator Diane Feinstein to Representative Eric Swalwell.
While liberal commentators routinely dismiss concerns about foreign subversion as McCarthyism, the possibility that China is bankrolling the Democratic Socialists of America takeover of the Democratic Party demands immediate attention from the party’s mainstream leadership before irreversible damage occurs.
