The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is financially backing left-wing climate lawfare in the United States, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, and dark money expert Scott Walter revealed the shady details while testifying before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday. [emphasis, links added]
The hearing, titled “Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance,” was held by the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action and Federal Rights, dug deep into how China has funded the push for progressive courts and to weaken American energy production, following a bombshell State Armor report exposing Energy Foundation China’s (EFC) ties to the CCP.
Cruz, the chairman of the subcommittee, introduced the background of what he deemed “a systematic campaign against American energy”:
There is a coordinated assault by the radical left, backed and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, to seize control of our courts, to weaponize litigation against U.S. energy producers, all in order to undermine American energy dominance.
