A network of pro-China organisations linked to tech investor Neville Roy Singham has organised a week of protests in cities including New York and Austin, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s expected talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The demonstrations address issues including US military policy, climate change, artificial intelligence, immigration and Israel, while Republican lawmakers argue that their timing and coordination could help China portray the United States as unstable.

The article says Singham and his wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, have supported groups that present themselves as grassroots but share sponsors, venues and promotional networks. Lawmakers Jason Smith and John Moolenaar called for greater financial transparency and questioned whether some organisations’ political activities comply with tax and campaign rules, while raising concerns about possible foreign influence. Fox News Digital says its investigation has documented roughly $285 million moving through a donor-advised fund and shell companies into a wider network of six major nonprofits, although the article presents lawmakers’ claims and does not establish that the protests were directed by China.
