China engages in a well-funded and subtly executed propaganda campaign. The New York Times' investigation has exposed intricate Chinese influence activities worldwide, carrying security implications for India. Central to these revelations is a network overseen by American millionaire Neville Roy Singham, who operates from Shanghai and maintains close ties with the Chinese Communist Party and its propaganda apparatus.
Singham-established or funded non-profit organizations have channeled resources toward think tanks, political parties, and media in various countries. What unifies these recipients is their promotion of Chinese Communist Party messaging.
In the context of India, Singham's network allegedly provided funding for a news website. These efforts are carefully orchestrated to present a façade of impartiality.
Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has significantly intensified such endeavors, aiming to construct a positive global narrative about the country. This involves cultivating networks of news outlets, disseminating misinformation, and even supporting seemingly innocuous public ventures.
Given China's considerable resources, there's a possibility of similar influence campaigns being directed at India. The vastness of India, its complex administrative landscape, and a multitude of differing opinions provide fertile ground. The presence of a significant number of underemployed or poorly compensated individuals further heightens India's susceptibility, allowing Beijing to exploit these vulnerabilities. As such, India must exercise heightened vigilance against China's strategy of influence.
Even newspapers like ‘The New York Times’ are now admitting that Neville Roy Singham and his NewsClick are dangerous tools of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and promoting China’s political agenda across the world.
Much before NYT, India has long been telling the world that News Click is a dangerous global web of Chinese propaganda. Supported by like-minded forces, Neville Roy Singham has been furthering a dubious anti-India agenda.
Way back in the year 2021, when India’s law enforcement agencies initiated an inquiry against News Click based on strong evidence of money laundering, the Congress and the entire Left-Liberal ecosystem came to defend it.
It is natural for these forces to defend Neville and News Click because national interest never matters to them. The same Congress Party that signed an MoU with the CPC in the year 2008 to promote Chinese interest in India and allegedly accepted donations for the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF) from the Chinese embassy.
Not just News Click many media and Fact check entities are openly funded by Foreign regimes either directly or indirectly via foundations. Political parties like AAP, Judiciary related foundations, and the entire NGOS do the same.
This News click ran 2 stories all day, every day. One was Rafael and other was Adani. Few Indian newspapers also ran huge editorials on Rafael in run up to 2019 elections.
