House GOP Launches Probe of China-Based Billionaire Over Potential Link to LA Riots

House Republicans on Friday launched an investigation into a China-based billionaire allegedly funding protest groups in the United States, including one reportedly linked to riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles.

The probe targets Neville Roy Singham, a Chicago-born businessman and self-described socialist. He lives in Shanghai with his wife, Jodie Evans, a prominent social justice activist and co-founder of advocacy group Code Pink.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said the House Oversight committee will be calling Singham to testify regarding the funding of what she described as “a communist group” tied to both the Los Angeles riots and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“If he refuses to appear, he will be subpoenaed, and if he ignores that, he will be referred to the DOJ for prosecution,” Luna wrote in a post on social media platform X.

In a letter to Singham, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Luna cited his alleged financial backing of far-left groups linked to recent unrest, including violence in anti-Israel demonstrations and the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

Representatives of Singham could not immediately be reached for comment.

Among the groups named is the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Marxist political organization that has fielded presidential candidates since 2008. PSL has been associated with an individual charged in the May 21 killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., and is reportedly a leading organizer of the anti-ICE protests.

PSL is also affiliated with the People’s Forum, a New York City–based nonprofit known for promoting radical leftist activism and hosting Marxist thinkers. In 2021, the People’s Forum described Singham as a “Marxist comrade” who sold his company to fund activist movements, indicating that the forum itself ran on donations from him.

The committee is also looking at Singham’s potential ties to the ANSWER Coalition, a far-left protest group that has organized major demonstrations against U.S. foreign policy and Israel’s military actions in Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks.

Pointing to the CCP’s known doctrine of strategic subversion, the lawmakers raised concerns that these organizations may be operating to advance Beijing’s interests.

“Under General Secretary Xi [Jinping], the CCP is known for its ‘Strategy of Sowing Discord,’ which refers to efforts to make internal disputes amongst the enemy so deep that they become distracted from conflict,” Comer and Luna wrote in the letter, which was co-signed by 19 other Republican members of the committee.

“If you are, in fact, carrying out this strategy on behalf of the CCP, you may have a FARA registration obligation,” the letter continues, referencing the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires individuals acting on behalf of foreign principals to register with the U.S. Department of Justice and disclose their activities and financial ties.

“In addition, your funding and relationship with the PSL, which has been implicated in the violence and riots in Los Angeles, may violate other federal laws,” they said, before requesting that Singham hand over information that would explain his relationships with PSL, the ANSWER Coalition, and the People’s Forum.

In a separate letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on the same matter, the committee asked the Justice Department to investigate an allegedly Singham-funded network of 19 activist groups, including Code Pink, for potential violations of FARA.

The investigation builds on concerns raised in December 2024 by then-Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who urged then-Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate whether the purportedly Singham-backed groups were sowing unrest and division on U.S. soil to advance CCP propaganda.

“The U.S. citizen, Neville Roy Singham, has reportedly funded many far-left and pro-Hamas organizations,” according to a press release from the Senate Committee on the Judiciary at the time. “These organizations appear to have a track record of parroting CCP talking points and opposing U.S. interests and, in some instances, receiving funding from CCP entities or working with CCP officials.”

That request, made in the closing days of the Biden administration, was not pursued further.

The Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

China’s New AI War Academy Trains Cyber Soldiers to Target American Infrastructure

While Americans struggle with the effects of decades of open borders, Communist China has quietly launched the most dangerous military expansion in decades, establishing three specialized war academies to train a new generation of cyber warriors whose sole mission is to defeat the United States. One of the most alarming developments is the creation of the PLA Information Support Force Engineering University in Wuhan, the city that gave us the coronavirus.

This communist training center will offer ten undergraduate majors specifically designed to create AI-powered cyber terrorists, including artificial intelligence warfare programs that teach students how to weaponize AI against American military systems, power grids, and critical infrastructure. These operatives are being trained to deploy autonomous cyber weapons capable of adapting and evolving to penetrate American defenses and disrupt national security systems.

According to multiple U.S. government agencies—including the FBI, NSA, and CISA—Chinese state-sponsored hackers have already infiltrated American infrastructure networks and are actively preparing for large-scale cyberattacks aimed at crippling energy, water, transportation, and communications systems in the event of a conflict. FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese cyber operatives have “burrowed” into U.S. critical systems and are waiting for the right moment to launch a devastating strike. Congress has echoed these warnings, with House committees sounding the alarm over China’s strategic positioning inside our infrastructure and the openly militarized nature of its AI education programs.

The curriculum includes unmanned operations training to create specialists in drone warfare and autonomous weapons systems designed to target American forces without risking Chinese lives. This is asymmetric warfare at its most dangerous. Particularly concerning is the university’s data link engineering program for “informationized, intelligent, and unmanned operations,” which teaches students how to hack and control the communications systems that link American missiles, warships, fighter jets, and early warning aircraft. Imagine Chinese operatives hijacking our own weapons and turning them against us.

Other programs focus on 6G technology and electromagnetic warfare, simultaneously developing the next generation of communications while learning how to disable ours. They are building the future while planning to destroy ours. The intelligent vision engineering program trains AI specialists in pattern recognition and target identification on the battlefield—effectively teaching machines to automatically identify and strike American soldiers, ships, and aircraft.

Additional majors include big data analytics and automated command systems, aimed at producing specialists capable of processing massive volumes of intelligence to coordinate attacks against American interests worldwide. This is not education—it is militarized indoctrination, and its goal is nothing short of technological supremacy and total strategic dominance over the United States.

This Wuhan AI warrior factory represents the crown jewel of Communist China’s $245 billion military buildup specifically designed to crush American freedom. The university was created by combining elite institutions, the Information Communication Institute of the National University of Defence Technology and the Officer’s Academy of Army Engineering University, into one concentrated weapon against the United States.

Xi Jinping personally ordered this AI warfare force to “effectively support combat operations” and “integrate deeply” into China’s joint operation system targeting American forces. He is clearly preparing for “information-focused warfare” against the United States, and the regime is confident in American weakness at this critical moment.

House Oversight to Issue Formal Document Request to Neville Singham Over Alleged Funding of CCP-Tied Communist Group Behind LA Riots — Subpoena and DOJ Referral Incoming if He Refuses to Cooperate

The House Oversight Committee is turning up the heat on Neville Roy Singham, the shadowy billionaire and alleged Chinese Communist Party asset accused of bankrolling the radical left’s most disruptive street agitators.

In a bombshell move announced on Tuesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) confirmed that the Committee will issue a formal document request to Singham over his alleged financial support of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) — the extremist Marxist group believed to be behind the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

“Thanks to the investigative work of Data Republican, House Oversight will issue a formal document request to Neville Singham regarding his funding of a communist group linked to the LA riots and the CCP,” Luna wrote on X.

She continued, “IF HE REFUSES TO APPEAR, HE WILL BE SUBPOENAED, AND IF HE IGNORES THAT HE WILL BE REFERRED TO THE DOJ FOR PROSECUTION.”

According to a bombshell report by @DataRepublican, Neville Singham—a tech multimillionaire who resides in Shanghai, China—has funneled over $20 million into U.S.-based far-left organizations via dark money channels like The People’s Forum and No Cold War, both of which are openly pro-Beijing.

Third Chinese scientist charged with smuggling illegal biological pathogen into US from Wuhan

A third Chinese scientist has been charged with smuggling biological materials into the United States after a University of Michigan student and her boyfriend were caught last week.

Chengxuan Han was arrested on Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan airport and charged with smuggling goods into the US.

Police allege Han sent four packages which ‘contained biological material related to round worms’ from China to the US.

The packages were sent between September 2024 and March 2025 and addressed to people linked to the laboratory at the University of Michigan. 

Han initially denied sending the packages at all, according to court documents. She later insisted they contained plastic cups, rather than petri dishes. 

According to the documents, she ultimately admitted sending the samples, which she had collected during her research as a Ph.D. student in Wuhan, China.

The charges come less than a week after University of Michigan postdoctoral fellow Yunqing Jian, 33, was charged alongside Zunyong Liu, 34, for attempting to smuggle a weapon of ‘agroterrorism’ into the United States in a sinister plot allegedly tied to the Chinese Communist Party.

Liu arrived in the United States from China in July 2024 carrying four small baggies of Fusarium graminearum – a product responsible for causing billions of dollars worth of damage to livestock, wheat, barley, maize and rice globally each year.

All three of the accused have links to the same university laboratory.

COVID cover-up probes focus on early military intel that virus was man-made, escaped Wuhan lab

An elite unit of scientists working for the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded three months after the pandemic began that COVID-19 likely was genetically manufactured and escaped a Chinese lab rather than evolving in nature as Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed, a bombshell revelation now at the heart of ongoing investigations into a possible U.S. intelligence cover-up.

“SARS-CoV-2 Spike Appears to be a Chimera,” a slide from the DIA National Center for Medical Intelligence’s June 25, 2020 presentation declared, using the scientific terms for the COVID-19 virus and the “chimera’ term for a genetically engineered pathogen that is a combination of pieces from two separate viruses.

The study – using complex genome analysis – also traced the process used for creating the new virus to an earlier manuscript that the Wuhan Institute of Virology published a decade prior. “Break points align with those identified by WIV Scientists in 2008,” the presentation said.

“The molecular biology capabilities of WIV and the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses … at WIV that escaped from containment,” the study concluded.

Report suppressed for years

The long-hidden study was only recently released under the Freedom of Information Act by U.S. intelligence agencies, a bombshell now at the center of ongoing investigations.

At least four whistleblowers have been interviewed in recent months by the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s office, the DIA’s internal watchdog and the FBI about the early findings from DIA’s National Center for Medical Intelligence and whether there was an effort to keep those genetic sleuths from communicating their evidence to other intelligence agencies, government officials told Just the News.

One area of focus is whether intelligence agencies sought to suppress the DIA research from a highly public release by President Joe Biden’s Director of National Intelligence Office in 2021 that assessed that COVID was “equally likely” to have come from nature or a lab accident, the officials said. That analysis – dubbed the 90-day sprint – made no overt reference to the detailed analysis DIA had offered a year earlier.

Efforts by the DIA scientists to insert their data into the 90-day document were snubbed and their edits were deleted, officials told Just the News.

‘We’re already in World War III,’ says national security expert

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently warned that China poses an “imminent” threat to Taiwan and urged Asian allies to boost their defenses. The People’s Liberation Army is “rehearsing for the real deal,” said Hegseth at a security conference in Singapore.

For perspective on the dire prospects of war, WorldNetDaily interviewed national security expert and retired Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, who observed that experts have been talking about the “imminent” threat from China for many years. “I’m not discounting the possibility [of China invading Taiwan], but I’m also going to be realistic and say the Chinese military is not ready for that scale of conflict.”

Rather, said the former UH-60 Black Hawk pilot who spent time working strategic intelligence in the Pacific theater, the Chinese military’s “primary role is to police its own people, not necessarily invade foreign nations.”

While there is no formal treaty obligating the U.S. to defend Taiwan, there is enough legal basis through the Taiwan Relations Act for the U.S. to assist the small East Asian country against military threats from China. Thus, Gaub agreed, the U.S. would very likely support Taiwan’s efforts to deter the Chinese regime from the use of force to gain control of the archipelago.

And though some experts fear an escalation to World War III should America engage militarily, Gaub said, “We’re already in World War III.” The U.S., he explained, is long past concerns over an “imminent threat” from China, as America and most of the free world are already at war, minus any overtly hostile military action on the part of the Chinese Communist Party.

‘Coming for us’: Expert sounds alarm on CCP’s mission to ‘kill Americans’ after FBI makes shocking arrests

Following news that two Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly smuggling a “dangerous biological pathogen” into the U.S. to study at an American university, Fox News Digital spoke to an expert on China who said the arrests should be a wake-up call to the country.

“I was entirely unsurprised, which is a sad commentary, but it speaks to the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP wants to kill Americans,” Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute focusing on U.S. and China relations, told Fox News Digital after FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests of the two Chinese nationals.

“Look at what they’ve done with smuggling fentanyl precursors into our country to kill Americans, look at the effects of them failing to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Sobolik said. “Dead Americans. The fact that they want to target Americans here within the United States with pathogens and with bioweapons. This is the Chinese Communist Party. This is what they do. They’re in a cold war with the United States. They want to become the most powerful nation in the world and they wanna make the world safe for their tyranny and unsafe for freedom. And they’re coming for us here at home.”

The couple are accused of smuggling a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a “potential agroterrorism weapon,” according to the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors note that the noxious fungus causes “head blight,” a disease of wheat, barley, maize and rice, and “is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.”

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs VETOES Bill That Would Prevent China From Buying Land Near U.S. Military Bases

Arizona’s Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill that would prevent the Chinese Communist Party from buying land near strategic assets such as military bases. Whose side is this woman on?

It really seems like Democrats are hell bent on doing everything they can to weaken the United States and threaten our national security.

They can’t even agree that China shouldn’t be able to buy American land near our defense infrastructure? What the heck is going on here?

FOX News reports:

Dem governor ripped as ‘total disgrace’ after vetoing bill limiting Chinese land ownership near military bases

Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is up for reelection next year, garnered backlash Tuesday after vetoing a bill aimed at preventing China from buying up land next to strategic assets, such as military bases.

Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp said the “politically motivated veto” was “utterly insane,” blaming Hobbs for being “an obstructionist against safeguarding our citizens from threats.”

However, Hobbs said the bill, S.B. 1109, was “ineffective at counter-espionage” and did not “directly protect” American military assets in the state…

“Governor Hobbs’s veto of SB 1109 hangs an ‘Open for the CCP’ sign on Arizona’s front door, allowing Communist China to buy up American land near critical assets like Luke Air Force Base, Palo Verde nuclear power plant, and Taiwan Semiconductor’s growing fabrication footprint,” said Michael Lucci, the CEO and founder of State Armor Action, a conservative group with a mission to develop and enact state-level solutions to global security threats.

Is anyone going to look into this?

Chinese couple were part of years-long plot to smuggle biological pathogen into US – even once snuck dangerous material in shoe

A Chinese researcher accused of plotting with her boyfriend to smuggle a weapon of ‘agroterrorism’ into the United States may have successfully hidden pathogens in her shoe on a previous trip.

University of Michigan postdoctoral fellow Yunqing Jian, 33, has been charged alongside Zunyong Liu, 34, for the sinister plot allegedly tied to the Chinese Communist Party.

Liu arrived in the United States from China in July 2024 carrying four small baggies of Fusarium graminearum – a product responsible for causing billions of dollars worth of damage to livestock, wheat, barley, maize and rice globally each year.

FBI boss Kash Patel issued a chilling warning after the first pictures emerged of Jian on Tuesday evening.

‘This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP[Chinese Communist Party] is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply,’ he said.

If successful, the plot ‘would have grave consequences… putting American lives and our economy at serious risk.’

The duo have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling, making false statements and visa fraud.

In a horrifying twist, the criminal complaint reveals that Jian may have been successful in smuggling pathogens into the United States years earlier.

Chinese seller on Amazon sold ‘defective’ tools linked to deaths, life-changing injuries: lawsuits

Allegedly defective tools and hardware from a China-based seller on Amazon have been linked to two deaths and at least one serious injury — the latest in an alarming spike in product liability lawsuits against the Seattle-based e-tailing giant, The Post has learned.

On March 25, 2024, Jacob “Jake” Todd — 30-year-old father of three in Menifee, Calif. — was working under his Toyota Tacoma when a car jack he’d bought on Amazon from Vevor, a Shanghai-based third-party seller, buckled and broke.

The grisly mishap caused fatal “blunt force trauma,” according to a January lawsuit filed on behalf of his sons in California state court in Riverside County.

In February, an Alabama truck driver, James Ryan Stokes, was using a Vevor “chain load binder” to tie down items on his flatbed truck when the chain broke, sending him violently backwards and fatally breaking his neck, according to William Poole, a lawyer hired by Stokes’ family. 

The 49-year-old trucker left a wife and six children who are preparing a lawsuit against Amazon, Vevor and Austal USA, a ship manufacturer in Mobile, Ala. where the accident happened, according to Poole.
