UK, US both said probing alleged ties between China and an anti-Israel protest group

Both the United States and the United Kingdom are investigating alleged financial ties between China and Code Pink, a pro-Palestinian protest group. The UK’s Home Office is probing Code Pink’s funding as part of a broader inquiry into foreign influence, amid concerns Beijing is seeking to deepen societal tensions. Code Pink is suspected of receiving £250,000 ($338,000) from a company linked to British tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans and has been accused of funding Chinese propaganda. An unnamed UK government spokesperson stated, “The first duty of government is to protect our national security.” In the US, a congressional committee and the Justice Department are investigating whether Singham used his money to spread pro-China propaganda and advance Beijing’s interests, with Congressional Ways and Means Committee chairman Jason Smith noting, “it’s clear from the investigation that Singham’s money and influence does not stop at America’s borders.”
