Rep. Jason Smith said several U.S.-based tax-exempt organizations have documented ties to hostile foreign governments, including the Chinese Communist Party, and are promoting its propaganda.
“Many of these tax exempt groups also have documented ties to hostile foreign governments, like the Chinese Communist Party, the People’s Forum, an American tax exempt group who I demanded documents from in September, it hosts events and courses pushing Communist Party propaganda incites violent protests and riots, including disruptive occupations of college campuses and publicly, publicly supported Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack against Israel,” Smith said.
Smith said the People’s Forum, which he identified as an American tax-exempt group, has echoed Communist Party messaging.
“And it’s no wonder that the people’s forum echoes Communist Party propaganda,” he said.
He pointed to what he described as a significant donor connected to the organization.
“One of their largest donors is a wealthy former US tech executive living in Shanghai who is cozy, extremely cozy, with the Chinese Communist Party, Neville Roy Singham and his wife, a co founder of Code Pink, donated over $20 million to the people’s forum through shell companies and donor advised funds to hide the original source of the money,” Smith said.
According to Smith, his committee has been investigating what he referred to as the Singham CCP network.
“This committee has worked tirelessly to unravel, to unravel, the Singham CCP network,” he said.
Smith said that as part of the investigation, letters were recently sent to additional organizations.
“Just last night, I sent letters to tri continental and breakthrough news to organizations that are part of this regime of CCP linked nonprofits operating in the US,” he said.
