Suspicion in Britain: Chinese money behind pro-Palestinian 'Code Pink' protests

A British investigation and a US congressional inquiry are examining money transfers to entities linked to the organization 'Code Pink', which led pro-Palestinian protests in Britain. The suspicion: a network linked to a businessman identified with China helped finance the activity. The organization encouraged demonstrations outside Royal Air Force bases and published blunt statements against British leaders.

An investigation by the British 'Telegraph' reveals suspicion that China funded pro-Palestinian marches and demonstrations across Britain. US politicians investigating alleged covert Chinese support for 'Code Pink', a feminist protest group associated with the radical left, are now examining its activities in the United Kingdom as part of a broader inquiry into foreign interference. The organization recently led a series of protests against Britain's involvement in what they call 'genocide in Gaza', encouraged demonstrations outside Royal Air Force bases, and published blunt statements claiming that British leaders have been 'bought by Zionism'. The investigation is taking place amid growing Western concern that Beijing is trying to exploit volatile social issues to deepen social divisions and conduct propaganda and political warfare. The article mentions a money trail of a quarter of a million pounds and ties to the Communist Party, but does not detail the findings. It also mentions Jeremy Corbyn and blanket denials alongside a federal investigation and foreign reports, but without specifics.
