Jill Stein, Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, and a former executive director of Greenpeace all came to Code Pink’s defense this week in response to a new report about the activist group’s ties to the Chinese government. But amid this outpouring of support from the far left, a think tank that once lobbied Congress on China policy in tandem with Code Pink has so far kept its distance.
A New York Times investigation found that the bulk of Code Pink’s funding comes from American billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a pro-Beijing tech magnate and donor to progressive political candidates, who funds media networks and political causes around the world and coordinates his efforts with the Chinese Communist Party. He married Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans in 2018.
