CodePink Launches China Tour as Grand Jury Probe into Singham Network Funding Continues

Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of CodePink, is leading a 12-day tour of China promoting "revolutionary history" and "socialist development," with links to Singham.

A California-based nonprofit with ties to the CCP and Neville Roy Singham kicked off a promotional tour of China this week, telling attendees they could learn about the communist country's "revolutionary history" while being "surprised" by the country's socialist progress.

On Sunday, CodePink, a 501(c)(3) registered in Marina Del Rey, Calif., posted a video of Media co-founder Benjamin in an airport discussing his trip to China. The video, posted amid separate posts about Columbus Day and supporting feminism, details how Benjamin suggests the communist country is different from "what we hear about in Washington."

The next day, CodePink posted another clip of Benjamin outside a university in China, praising the country's safety, enthusing that it was "amazing" that an umbrella or bicycle could be left unattended in the area "without worrying about them being stolen."

According to an event promotion link for registration on CodePink's website, the trip is 12 days and 11 nights in Shanghai, Chongqing, Zuni, Lushangguan, Maotai Village and Guiyang, and the company estimates it will cost between $3,000 and $4,000, depending on the total number of participants. The website said attendees will be greeted by "local Shanghai buddies" and will include a tour with Pink co-founder Benjamin and Co-Judy Evans.

"Explore China's revolutionary history while marveling at its advanced technological infrastructure and modern socialist development," the event description reads. Highlights include red memorials, historical reconstructions and museums, socialist infrastructure, and rural revitalization."

Hasan Pekar mentions Singham, a pro-HKP capitalist, as an investor of "political movements" despite the non-profit guise.

Evans regularly participates in rallies and demonstrations with Benjamin and the nonprofit organization. Just last month, he marched alongside communist and Marxist groups to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Singham and Codepink have denied that the organization is directed by the Chinese government. Singham has said he is guided by his political beliefs, while Benjamin has said CodePink does not receive any money from the Chinese Communist Party. No criminal charges have been filed against Singham or the organizations associated with the allegations.
