The State Department has notified Congress that the activist group Code Pink has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, a development that underscores concerns about foreign influence on U.S. political organizations.

Code Pink first gained attention during the presidency of George W. Bush as an anti-war group. Critics note that during President Obama’s tenure, when many of Bush’s foreign policies remained in place, the group was largely quiet, with some members even attending Obama’s inauguration. With President Trump back in office, Code Pink has resumed its activism, often appearing uninvited at political events.

The New York Post reports:

State Department identifies Code Pink and other far-left groups as vectors of Chinese influence operations.

According to the report, transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, Code Pink and the People’s Forum are linked to influence campaigns run by China. “Organizations like Code Pink and the People’s Forum denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for China while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party,” said Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers.

The report, titled Countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference, claims that China “spreads propaganda through influence campaigns run by nonprofit organizations like Code Pink, the People’s Forum, and groups linked with the notorious Singham network.”

Rogers added that the State Department aims to ensure “complete transparency for the donor and NGO networks that lobby for our adversaries and seek to weaken the resolve of the United States.”

This announcement could mark a significant shift in how foreign influence is monitored and addressed in the U.S. political sphere. Observers are now watching to see if it will curb the activities of these activist groups.
