How China Hijacked America’s Climate Fears
In its quest to corner energy supply chains, China is bankrolling climate groups to weaken the U.S. from within.

On June 25, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz chaired a remarkable Senate subcommittee hearing. The focus was on allegations that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) financially supports climate activists to hinder American energy development. [emphasis, links added]
Cruz did not mince words as he outlined what he and fellow Republicans view as the CCP’s three-part strategy to weaken its primary geopolitical rival:
First, foreign money from entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party flows into the United States to bankroll climate advocacy groups who litigate against American energy. Second, activist lawyers flood our courts with lawsuits designed not to win policy debates but to bankrupt energy producers and to dismantle energy infrastructure through sheer attrition. Third, the judiciary itself is being quietly captured and brainwashed as left-wing nonprofits host closed-door trainings that indoctrinate judges to adopt the ideological goals of the climate lawfare machine.
For evidence, Cruz pointed to cash outlays at a nonprofit called Energy Foundation China (EFC), based in San Francisco.
