U.S. officials are investigating suspicions that money originating from a network linked to China reached organizations involved in pro-Palestinian protests in the United Kingdom, as part of a broader inquiry into possible foreign interference, The Telegraph reported.

American lawmakers examining alleged covert Chinese support for the left-wing organization Code Pink are also scrutinizing the group’s activities in Britain. Code Pink has encouraged activists to join large pro-Palestinian marches and has organized demonstrations outside the British Ministry of Defence and the London offices of a weapons manufacturer.

The investigation is focused in part on businessman Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. millionaire living in Shanghai who is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. A congressional committee has alleged that Code Pink appeared to be “funded and influenced” by Singham and the Chinese Communist government. The allegations remain under investigation, however, and do not establish that Beijing directly financed the protests.

A British company tied to Code Pink received more than $250,000 in 2020 and 2021 from entities suspected of being part of Singham’s network, according to The Telegraph. In 2024, the same company received another $94,950 from a fund also suspected of belonging to the network, with the payment reportedly listed as being for “consulting services.”

The scrutiny of Singham predates the latest developments. CBS News reported in July that a federal grand jury in New York was conducting a criminal investigation into him. That investigation initially centered on possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act before expanding to tax-related issues and the movement of funds through nonprofits under his control.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton has also called for the Justice Department to investigate Code Pink. In a November 2025 letter, Cotton alleged that the organization received more than $1.4 million since 2017 from sources linked to Singham, representing roughly one-quarter of its total funding during the period examined.

Singham has denied acting for China, saying he is not a member of any political party and does not act on behalf of any government. Code Pink has also rejected claims that it receives funding from the Chinese government, with co-founder Medea Benjamin saying the organization does not receive money from the Chinese Communist Party.
