参议员汤姆·科顿在福克斯新闻数字频道独家获得的一封信中，敦促司法部调查一场与中国有关的秘密运动，该运动旨在“重创”美国快速扩张的人工智能基础设施。
在写给代理司法部长托德·布兰奇的信中，这位阿肯色州共和党人呼吁联邦调查人员调查外国势力是否企图影响美国公众舆论和政策，反对数据中心和人工智能开发，因为华盛顿和北京正在人工智能领域争夺主导地位。

“最近的报道显示，中国共产党正试图影响我们关于数据中心的政策和公众舆论。原因显而易见：他们想重创我们的算力，以赢得AI竞赛，”科顿告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“美国人应该在不受共产主义宣传影响的情况下决定自己的未来。我正在鼓励司法部展开调查，”科顿说。
报道：中国宣传、辛格汉姆网络、与反对数据中心的运动相关的外国暗钱

科顿的这一要求是在华盛顿特区智库比特币政策研究所上周发布一份报告之后提出的，该报告称，中国官方媒体、外国资助的倡导团体以及由美国科技大亨内维尔·罗伊·辛格汉姆资助的组织网络，多年来一直在组织反对美国数据中心建设和人工智能基础设施项目的活动。
辛格汉姆是一名公开的马克思主义者，也是芝加哥一家名为Thoughtworks的公司的创始人，他于2017年出售了该公司，现在居住在上海，他已成为国会审查和联邦调查的日益突出的焦点。今年3月，当辛格汉姆网络的成员前往哈瓦那支持古巴共产党时，福克斯新闻数字频道今年早些时候发布了一篇五部分系列报道，记录了辛格汉姆如何向一系列非营利组织注入2.78亿美元，其中包括在美国反对人工智能、数据中心和科技公司的抗议活动核心的团体。
正如福克斯新闻数字频道此前报道的那样，辛格汉姆网络旗下的501(c)(3)类非营利组织，包括CodePink、人民论坛、三大陆和BreakThrough News，已经参与并领导了反对人工智能开发、半导体出口管制和大规模数据中心项目的运动。自称共产主义者的辛格汉姆在2017年与CodePink联合创始人朱迪·埃文斯结婚后，开始向这些团体注入资金。

多年来，由辛格汉姆资助的团体一直与美国两个自称共产党的团体——ANSWER联盟和社会主义解放党——密切合作，这些组织动员抗议者抗议美国主要科技、国防和物流企业，如Palantir Technologies、洛克希德·马丁和谷歌，试图点名批评这些公司因与美国政府在移民、全球地缘政治等问题上开展业务，而这些问题中国在以色列、伊朗、委内瑞拉、古巴、韩国甚至格陵兰都有重大利益。
亲华抗议者抓住了数据中心运营相关的高电费问题。新抗议活动的一个核心主题是近几个月来消费者看到的不断上涨的电费账单。今年早些时候，科顿提出了一项名为“2026年数据法案”的法案，该法案将解除监管限制，允许制造商、数据中心和其他能源密集型行业建设独立于消费者电网的新电力系统。
更广泛地说，参众两院议员已开始对辛格汉姆网络旗下的非营利组织展开调查，并质疑这些团体是否应根据《外国代理人登记法》（FARA）登记为“外国代理人”，该法律要求为外国利益服务的实体或个人向美国司法部登记为外国说客。
“令人担忧的报告显示，以中国共产党（CCP）为首的外国势力网络正试图操纵美国公众对数据中心的政策和舆论，”科顿在信中写道。
专家警告：由中国资金联合、仇视美国的煽动者瞄准数据中心

气候活动家、反以色列抗议者和其他议程截然不同的激进运动已经成为奇怪的盟友，他们因共同的对美国的蔑视和来自中国的资金而团结在一起，专家警告称，在快速加速的AI竞赛中，这一趋势正在削弱美国。他们被视为“红-绿-绿联盟”的一部分，这是三种元素之间的意识形态重叠：以红色为代表的共产主义运动、以绿色为代表的伊斯兰激进主义，以及以绿色为象征的环保抗议团体。
科顿认为，美国在人工智能领域的地位将对国家的经济实力、军事能力、外交影响力和国家安全产生广泛影响。他警告称，不应允许外国对手利用公众对能源使用、公用事业成本和水资源消耗的担忧，减缓美国的技术发展。
比特币政策研究所的报告《反对美国人工智能运动中的外国影响力》称，三个独立的影响力渠道——中国官方媒体、辛格汉姆网络和外国资助的倡导组织——越来越多地联合起来，试图阻止或推迟美国新的人工智能相关基础设施建设。

2017年初他们结婚后，辛格汉姆和埃文斯改变了美国的极左翼抗议活动，打造了一个机器，从辛格汉姆网络内部明确的指挥控制中心发出警报，组织新的抗议活动，批量制作预制抗议标语，共享统一信息，并围绕支持中国、谴责“美利坚帝国”作为“帝国主义国家”的共同主题团结起来，这借鉴了俄罗斯和中国的宣传。
根据比特币政策研究所的报告，辛格汉姆网络“花费了近五年时间制作平行的国内内容，反对美国的人工智能基础设施、人工智能实验室和人工智能出口管制”。
该报告认为，在中国积极投资自身人工智能能力之际，反对美国人工智能基础设施的运动为北京创造了战略优势。
“当北京的官方媒体警告美国民众数据中心在环境和经济上具有危险性时，中国政府补贴了其本国人工智能数据中心运营商高达一半的能源成本，”报告称。
凯文·奥利里警告中国在AI竞赛中“碾压我们”，监管障碍阻碍美国发展
这一问题日益突出，因为政策制定者、投资者和科技领袖警告称，如果美国不能迅速扩大支持下一代人工智能系统所需的计算基础设施，就有可能落后于中国。
最直言不讳的扩大人工智能基础设施倡导者之一是亿万富翁投资者凯文·奥利里，他认为数据中心、发电和先进计算能力现在是全球争夺人工智能领导地位竞争中的战略资产。
科顿、奥利里、比特币政策研究所和其他人提出的更广泛担忧是，反对美国人工智能基础设施的亲华运动正在传播最终有利于北京的叙事，因为美国和中国正在争夺技术和经济霸权。
伯尼·桑德斯计划与北京顶尖AI专家会晤引发反弹：“我的天”
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6394243095112
今年早些时候，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（I-佛蒙特州）和众议员亚历山德里奥·奥卡西奥-科特兹（D-纽约州），两人都是美国民主社会主义者的领导人，组织了一场关于“人工智能的生存威胁”的活动。该活动邀请了与中国共产党关系密切的演讲者，包括北京人工智能安全与治理研究所的曾毅和中国国务院参事、中国国家人工智能治理委员会主席薛澜。桑德斯、奥卡西奥-科特兹、曾毅和薛澜未回复置评请求。
科顿在信中指出，薛澜与清华大学有关联，该机构因在中国军民融合战略中的作用而经常受到美国官员的审查。
正如此前报道的那样，去年秋天，在福克斯新闻数字频道首次报道的“全球南方学术论坛”会议上，辛格汉姆公开赞扬中国共产党和中国国家主席习近平的“新世界秩序”全球运动。

Trump’s China trip highlights US-China AI race and tech CEOs’ involvement
Former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, co-chair of the AI Infrastructure Coalition, discusses President Trump’s strategic decision to bring top American tech CEOs to China for his meeting with Xi Jinping.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Sen. Tom Cotton urged the Justice Department to investigate a covert campaign linked to China designed to “kneecap” America’s rapidly expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure in a letter obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.
In the letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Arkansas Republican calls for federal investigators to examine whether foreign actors are attempting to shape U.S. public opinion and policy against data centers and AI development as Washington and Beijing compete for dominance in artificial intelligence.

“Recent reports show that Communist China is attempting to influence our policy and public opinion on data centers. The reason is obvious: they want to kneecap our processing power to win the AI race,” Cotton told Fox News Digital.
“Americans should decide their own future free of communist propaganda. I’m encouraging the Department of Justice to investigate,” Cotton said.
REPORT: CHINESE PROPAGANDA, SINGHAM NETWORK, FOREIGN DARK MONEY LINKED TO CAMPAIGNS AGAINST DATA CENTERS

Cotton’s request follows the release of a report last week from the Bitcoin Policy Institute, a think tank based in Washington, D.C., alleging that Chinese state media, foreign-funded advocacy groups and a network of organizations funded by American tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham have spent years building opposition to U.S. data center construction and AI infrastructure projects.
Singham, an avowed Marxist and the founder of a Chicago-based company, Thoughtworks, that he sold in 2017, now lives in Shanghai, and has become a growing focus of congressional scrutiny and federal investigations. In March, as members of the Singham network were journeying to Havana to support the Communist Party of Cuba, Earlier this year, Fox News Digital published a five-part series documenting how Singham has funneled $278 million into a series of nonprofits, including groups at the heart of the protests against AI, data centers and technology firms in the U.S.
As Fox News Digital has reported, 501(c)(3) nonprofits from the Singham network, including CodePink, the People’s Forum, Tricontinental and BreakThrough News, have participated and led campaigns opposing AI development, semiconductor export controls and large-scale data center projects. Singham, a self-avowed communist, started pumping the money into the groups after his 2017 marriage to Jodie Evans, the co-founder of CodePink.

For years, groups funded by Singham have worked closely with two self-described communist groups in the U.S. — the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation — that have organized foot soldiers to protest major U.S. technology, defense and logistics companies, such as Palantir Technologies, Lockheed-Martin and Google, to try to name-and-shame the firms for doing business with the U.S. government on issues from immigration to global geopolitics where China has major interests, including in Israel, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, South Korea and even Greenland.
Pro-China protestors have seized on high electrical costs associated with operating a data center. One of the key themes of new protests is the rising electricity bills that consumers have been seeing in recent months. Earlier this year, Cotton introduced a bill, called the “DATA Act of 2026,” that would lift regulatory controls to allow manufacturers, data centers and other energy-intensive industries to build new electricity systems separate from the consumer electrical grid.
More widely, Senate and House lawmakers have launched inquiries into the nonprofits in the Singham network, while questioning whether the groups should be required to register as “foreign agents” under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, called FARA, which demands that entities or individuals working for the interests of foreign interests register with the U.S. Justice Department as foreign lobbyists.
“Alarming reports indicate that a network of foreign actors, led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is attempting to manipulate U.S. policy and public opinion on data centers,” Cotton wrote in the letter.
AGITATORS UNITED BY CHINESE MONEY, HATE FOR AMERICA TARGET DATA CENTERS, EXPERTS WARN
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6396445749112
Climate activists, anti-Israel protesters and other activist movements with very different agendas have become strange bedfellows united by a shared disdain for America and funding from China, according to experts who warn the trend is weakening the United States amid a rapidly accelerating AI race. They are seen as part of a “red-green-green alliance,” an ideological overlap between three elements: communist movements, characterized by the color red; Islamist activism, described as green; and environmental protest groups, symbolized as green.
Cotton argued that America’s position in artificial intelligence will have sweeping implications for the country’s economic strength, military capabilities, diplomatic influence and national security. He warned that foreign adversaries shouldn’t be allowed to exploit public concerns over energy use, utility costs and water consumption to slow U.S. technological development.
The Bitcoin Policy Institute report, “Foreign Influence in the Campaign Against American AI,” alleges that three separate streams of influence — Chinese state media, the Singham network and foreign-funded advocacy organizations — have increasingly aligned around efforts to block or delay new AI-related infrastructure in the United States.

After Singham sells Thoughtworks later that year, Fowler writes that Singham will be able to do his “activist work.” Singham then funds the establishment of Tricontinental Ltd., a think tank led by Prashad advocating pro-China policies.(Osbourne Chin/Chinphotographic)
After their wedding in early 2017, Singham and Evans have transformed far-left protests in the United States, creating a machine that sounds the alarm for new protests from clear command-and-control centers within the Singham network, churns out pre-printed protest signs, shares common messaging and galvanizes around common themes that support China and condemn “AmeriKKKa,” as an “imperiaist nation,” borrowing on Russian and Chinese propaganda.
According to the report by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, the Singham network “has spent nearly five years producing parallel domestic content opposing U.S. AI infrastructure, AI labs, and AI export controls.”
The report argues that the campaign against American AI infrastructure creates a strategic advantage for Beijing at a time when China is aggressively investing in its own AI capabilities.
“While Beijing’s state media warns American audiences that data centers are environmentally and economically dangerous, the Chinese state subsidizes up to half of the energy costs of its own AI data center operators,” the report states.
KEVIN O’LEARY WARNS CHINA ‘KICKING OUR HEINIES’ IN AI RACE AS REGULATORY ROADBLOCKS STALL US
The issue has become increasingly prominent as policymakers, investors and technology leaders warn that the U.S. risks falling behind China if it fails to rapidly expand the computing infrastructure needed to power next-generation AI systems.
One of the most vocal advocates for expanded AI infrastructure has been billionaire investor Kevin O’Leary, who has argued that data centers, power generation and advanced computing capacity are now strategic assets in the global competition for artificial intelligence leadership.
The broader concern raised by Cotton, O’Leary, the Bitcoin Policy Institute and others is that pro-China campaigns opposing U.S. AI infrastructure are advancing narratives that ultimately benefit Beijing as the U.S. States and China battle for technological and economic supremacy.
BERNIE SANDERS’ PLANS TO SCHMOOZE WITH TOP BEIJING AI EXPERTS IGNITES BACKLASH: ‘HOLY SH–‘
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6394243095112
Earlier this year, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandrio Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), both leaders in the Democratic Socialists of America, organized an event on the “existential threat of AI.” The event featured speakers closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, including Zeng Yi of the Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance and Xue Lan, a counselor to China’s State Council and chairman of China’s national AI governance committee. Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Yi and Lan didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Cotton noted in his letter that Lan is affiliated with Tsinghua University, an institution frequently scrutinized by U.S. officials because of its role in China’s military-civil fusion strategy.
As reported, last fall, during a conference of the “Global South Academic Forum,” which Fox News Digital first reported, Singham publicly praised the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s global campaign for a “new world order.”
