Anti-ICE protesters claim to be part of a grassroots movement by regular people – but most have no idea they are being bankrolled by a tech millionaire in China.
After selling his US tech company for over $700m, researchers say the multimillionaire has poured over $100 million dollars into US activist organizations that protest against immigration enforcement, democracy in Venezuela, and “anti-imperialist” causes.
The New York Times says he is orchestrating “a global web of Chinese propaganda” while Marco Rubio has pushed for an investigation into his connections to the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign influences.
