State Department Cracks Down on Leftist Foreign Influence Groups

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

The State Department has transmitted a report to Congress alleging that several left-leaning nonprofits, including Code Pink and the People’s Forum, have promoted narratives aligned with the Chinese government. The report on ”Countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference” frames the groups as potential vectors in broader Chinese influence operations.

The findings arrive amid intensifying US-China rivalry, with lawmakers already investigating networks linked to tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, who has financial ties to organizations associated with Code Pink. The report does not announce criminal charges but calls for greater transparency surrounding foreign-linked funding and activist networks operating inside the United States.
