Every year, charities with leadership linked to the Chinese Communist Party pump millions of dollars into American environmentalist charities, and, in turn, United States nonprofit groups affiliated with the green movement send millions more overseas to aid either the Chinese government directly or organizations closely linked to it. 

Major American foundations, collectively controlling tens of billions of dollars’ worth of assets, take it upon themselves annually to support the Chinese government’s environmental and diplomatic goals. Nonprofit organizations such as the Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Packard Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation provide both direct and indirect support to the Chinese state in achieving its climate agenda. On the other side of the equation, many of the environmental charities operating in the U.S. and funding domestic activism have leadership and goals closely aligned with the Chinese government.
