Report: DOJ Probing China-Based Neville Roy Singham’s Financing of U.S. Activist Groups

Fox News has reported that the DOJ launched an investigation into China-based Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham’s funding of far-left socialist groups.

Singham is married to Jodie Evans, one of the leaders of Code Pink.

A Manhattan grand jury issued subpoenas connected to a probe started by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.

“The investigation is examining the movement of the money in Singham’s financial network and attempting to determine if Singham, the organizations he funded or their leaders committed wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering or other financial crimes, according to sources familiar with the matter,” according to Fox News.

Fox News mentioned how the move comes after the network documented “how Singham pumped $285 million from his base in Shanghai into a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund and two shell corporations that then fed the money into a constellation of nonprofit organizations, media operations and activist groups pushing sectarian division, identity politics and support for socialist politicians.”

However, two lawmakers asked the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to investigate Singham.

In June, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Tom Cotton (R-AR) asked Blanche to investigate “foreign influence efforts targeting the buildout of American AI infrastructure.”

House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Brett Guthrie turned to the FBI and the chairmen of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology for “information on the influence effort.”

Singham’s name has appeared numerous times since August 2023, two months before Hamas invaded Israel on October 7.

The first major report I can find on Singham appeared in The New York Times:

On the surface, No Cold War is 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.

In fact, a New York Times investigation found, it is part of a lavishly funded influence campaign that defends China and pushes its propaganda. At the center is a charismatic American millionaire, Neville Roy Singham, who is known as a socialist benefactor of far-left causes.

What is less known, and is hidden amid a tangle of nonprofit groups and shell companies, is that Mr. Singham works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.

But Mr. Singham, 69, himself sits in Shanghai, where one outlet in his network is co-producing a YouTube show financed in part by the city’s propaganda department. Two others are working with a Chinese university to “spread China’s voice to the world.” And last month, Mr. Singham joined a Communist Party workshop about promoting the party internationally.

The New York Times noted how “the line between him and the propaganda apparatus is so blurry that he shares office space — and his groups share staff members — with a company whose goal is to educate foreigners about ‘the miracles that China has created on the world stage.’”

In September 2025, the Ways and Means Committee exposed The People’s Forum, a U.S. nonprofit, as a likely propaganda arm for the Chinese Communist Party.

A letter from the committee pointed out that The People’s Forum received $20 million from Singham, describing him as “a wealthy U.S. expatriate living in Shanghai with long-documented CCP ties, which was funneled through shell companies and donor-advised funds.”

In March, Fox News disclosed Singham’s 172-page report, showing “a worldview that reframes history, challenges Western power and calls for a ‘new world order’ promoted by Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China.”

“If we want to, therefore, have a new world order that is based on multilateralism that President Xi and CPC and China have proposed, we have to undo the ideological damage that has been done by the narrative of World War II,” Singham told a Global South Academic Conference.

Singham has framed himself as a new Mao:

In his study, “80th Anniversary of the Victory of the World Anti-Fascist War,” Singham invoked the “truth” of Mao from the communist leader’s book “On Protracted War,” where he wrote, “The richest source of power to wage war lies in the masses of the people.”

Singham’s study revealed not just an interpretation of history, but a strategy.

“The war never strategically ended,” Singham wrote. “It simply changed form.”

At the core of his thinking is a rejection of the West and the United States of America and its system of free enterprise, or “fascism,” as he calls it derisively.

“The liberal fiction of three competing systems — democracy, fascism and communism — obscures the truth,” Singham wrote. “Fascism is capitalism in crisis, its mask dropped. The real struggle was never between three systems but between two: socialism and capitalism, with fascism as capitalism’s emergency response to revolutionary threat.”
