President Trump just told the country China stole 220 million American voter files.
Hours later a new report exposed a separate Chinese operation working to sabotage a different American target.
The same regime is now tied to a financier quietly sabotaging America's next industrial revolution.
Report Ties Singham Money to Nationwide AI Protest Campaign
That second front runs through a Shanghai-based financier named Neville Singham.
Singham made his fortune building Thoughtworks, then sold the company in 2017 and moved to Shanghai.
From there he built a financial pipeline – nonprofits, shell companies, a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund – that has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into left-wing activist groups across the United States.
Code Pink got funded. The People's Forum got funded. BreakThrough News got funded.
Now a new report from the Bitcoin Policy Institute says that same money machine has been quietly running a campaign against something much bigger than campus protests.
Researcher Sam Lyman found that a self-described Marxist-Leninist group, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, organized 21 separate campaigns across 14 states targeting American AI data centers.
Those campaigns produced 10 local moratoriums, one outright ban, and four data center projects scrapped or rejected outright.
Add it up and Lyman puts the total at $23.6 billion in American AI investment delayed, shrunk, or killed.
Lyman didn't mince words about what he found. "Among the most subversive political networks here in the United States, period," he told Fox News Digital.
Charlotte, North Carolina shows the pattern up close. PSL organizers spent months working the neighborhoods around a proposed data center site, and the city council ended up voting, unanimously, to freeze all new data center construction for 150 days.
Organizers aren't satisfied with a pause. They want that freeze written into law permanently.
PSL co-founder Brian Becker hosts a show on Singham-funded BreakThrough News. His son sits on the party's central committee and edits the same outlet.
People's Forum co-founder Claudia de la Cruz ran for president on the PSL ticket.
This isn't two separate movements that happen to agree on data centers. It's one operation wearing two masks.
Congress Demands Answers as Investigation Expands
Senator Tom Cotton isn't buying the coincidence either.
Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, sent a letter to the Justice Department demanding an investigation into foreign influence over American AI policy.
Cotton isn't mincing words about the network's real paymaster. "The Chinese government is the network's ultimate paymaster," he said, according to the Washington Times.
The Bitcoin Policy Institute's own findings back him up. "China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America's data center buildout," the report concludes.
None of Singham's political groups have ever registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, despite years of scrutiny.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation doesn't even file a Form 990. Nobody outside the network can say for certain where its money really comes from.
U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton's investigators are working through a paper trail that stretches back to 2017 – roughly $278 million, funneled into a maze of shell companies and donor-advised funds tied to Singham.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche personally authorized the probe.
Subpoenas are already out for bank records tied to the network.
Singham himself is sitting in Shanghai while his network keeps organizing against the industry that would let the United States outbuild China in AI.
That's not activism. That's a foreign financier working to slow down the one technology race that determines who runs the next century.
The same nonprofits that flooded the streets after October 7 and stormed ICE operations under Trump are now the ones showing up at zoning meetings to kill data centers.
Follow the money far enough and it keeps landing in the same place – Shanghai.
Subpoenaing Singham directly remains on the table, though nobody expects Beijing to help serve the paperwork.
Whatever happens with the grand jury, the AI fight just stopped looking like a local zoning dispute.
