France's Protests, a Shanghai-Based Millionaire—and the China Connection

The riots in France are full of suspicious signs. The call for mass street protests came from an anonymous TikTok account. With hundreds of thousands of people protesting, who is organizing and coordinating them? To this day, it still hasn't been figured out. As early as November 1st, someone accurately predicted the riots on the 17th, and the targets smashed on the scene were highly consistent. The tactics used were just like those of urban guerrillas. There are also people secretly fanning the flames, refusing to let this movement cool down. When Paris was ablaze, 27 left-wing organizations had already rushed in from all directions across 11 countries to meet and plot their next moves. Behind all these suspicious points, who is doing what? Just two days ago, the US Congress named a specific person, Neville Roy Singham, an American living in Shanghai. The funding and the driving forces behind the raging fires in France all point to him. Who is he? What has he done? And who is behind him? In this episode, I guarantee you won't see this anywhere else, because I've been digging for a long time. This guy actually has a very close relationship with Huawei. The content is explosive. By the end, you'll be shocked that this riot in France is just one step in a much larger game they are playing. Speaking of this thingum, we need to start from Detroit, USA, in 1972. Detroit's America's motor city. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, the three major car companies, are all located there. In 1967, a major riot broke out in Detroit, which burned for five days and left 43 people dead. At that time, the military even drove tanks onto the streets. After the riots, black workers at the auto plants formed an organization called the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, and this organization, believed in Mao Zedong thought, the first sentence of their manifesto was that they must wage a ruthless struggle against racism, capitalism, and imperialism. In 1972, an 18-year-old young man joined this organization at a Chrysler plant, and this person was Neville Roy Singham. Singham was born in 1954 in Connecticut, USA. He wasn't a child from a poor family, nor did he end up in the factory because he had no other options. His father, on the contrary, was a political science professor from Sri Lanka who taught at New York University and also spent time at Howard University, the most famous historically black university in Washington. What did his father study? Well, anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and how the third world could unite to resist the West. He even edited a book about the non-aligned movement. So Singham grew up hearing about anti-imperialism and revolution at the dinner table. So while his peers were busy dating and applying to colleges, this child from a professor's family made a decision. He joined the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, a Maoist organization. At 18, he started working on the assembly line at a Chrysler factory. He didn't go to the factory to earn money, but rather as an activist for the organization to mobilize the factory workers. The factory assembly line was rumbling, and the workshop was filled with the smell of machine oil. This skinny young man would whisper about Mao Zedong to his fellow workers while tightening screws. Two years later, someone took notice of him. In 1974, the FBI opened a file on him, Which stated that due to his background, his emotional instability, and his participation in groups hostile to the United States, he was considered potentially dangerous. 20-year-old Singham was being watched by the FBI. In 1976, Singham entered Howard University to study political science, and two years later, he graduated. Next, he went to Chicago and started a company, providing management consulting for equipment leasing firms. Two or three years later, the company was doing well, so he started hiring people and, incidentally, gave the company a name, ThoughtWorks. What did this company actually do? To put it simply, it was an outsourcing company that helped big corporations write software and build systems. The clients were quite famous, such as Microsoft, Oracle, several large banks, and The Guardian in the UK. Back in those days, ThoughtWorks was very well known in the programmer community. His company kept growing, and by 2008, it had 1,000 employees, with an annual growth rate of 20-30%. So, it expanded globally, opening branch offices in many places. Logically speaking, with the company growing so fast, Singham, who admired Mao Zedong, should have advocated for communism, but 97% of the company's shares were always held by him alone. The strange part is yet to come. Just when ThoughtWorks was raking in money in the United States, Singham quietly took on a side job. In 2001, he became a strategic technology consultant for a Chinese company, and he held that position for seven years. That company was Huawei. What was Huawei's situation in 2001? That year, Ren Zhengfei wrote an article titled Huawei's Winter. Ren Zhengfei said that times were getting tough domestically, and Huawei needed to venture outward, to Europe and to the United States. It was at this very moment that Singham, as the boss of a growing American software company, well, came to Huawei's side. Two years later, Huawei ran into trouble in the United States. Cisco, the leader in U.S. network equipment, sued Huawei in Texas because Huawei's routers had copied Cisco's operating system source code. Copying file names, text, and even the bugs in Cisco's programs were identical. The product manuals were copied verbatim, paragraph after paragraph. As for what role Singham played in all of this, we have no way to verify. However, from 2001 to 2008, these were the seven critical years for Huawei's expansion from China to the world. And these seven years were exactly the same seven years that Singham served as a consultant for Huawei. At a software industry conference in Beijing in 2010, Singham took the stage to give a speech talking about his influence on Huawei. He said that the software development methods of the American company ThoughtWorks had deeply influenced the senior management of several large Chinese enterprises, and Huawei was among them. So Singham's connection with the CCP began long before, back when he was writing code for major American companies. And this relationship went far beyond that. In 2017, Singham made a decision to sell his company ThoughtWorks to the British private equity firm Apex Partners for nearly $800 million. Suddenly, this Maoist, who once tightened screws on an assembly line, had nearly $800 million in his hands. He said he wanted to redistribute most of his wealth within his lifetime. How would he distribute it? To whom? The answer lies in his wedding that same year. In February 2017, in a small seaside town in Jamaica, in the Caribbean, Stingham got married. The bride was Jody Evans, one of the founders of the American anti-war organization Code Pink. In the 1990s, she served as a campaign manager for a California gubernatorial candidate, and her ex-husband was an old-school American tech tycoon. This wedding, by the way, was titled Revolutionary Love. The invitation, besides listing dinner and dancing, also included a symposium titled The Future of the Left. Have you ever been to a wedding that held a symposium? That has to do with the guests. The New York Times said that the wedding guests at the time were essentially a who's who of the American left. I'll just pick one person. There was the Indian-American scholar Prashad, who is a popular theorist in leftist circles. Friends, keep him in mind. We'll mention him again in a moment. The biggest change is the bride. Before getting married, the bride, Evans, had always been an open critic of the CCP. She criticized the CCP for suppressing Uyghur Muslims. But a few years after the wedding, she and Prashad, the Indian-American scholar we just mentioned, held an online seminar together. And the slogan became, China is not our enemy. Later on, she started appearing on Chinese state television, claiming that China had lifted everyone out of poverty. In one livestream, she said she couldn't think of a single bad thing about China. Her friends say she's become increasingly radical, relying on the deep pockets of her Marxist husband. By deep pockets, they mean Neville Roy Singham's money. Earlier, we mentioned that Singham sold his company and made nearly $800 million. He planned to redistribute this wealth, but how did he distribute it, and who did he give it to? How did Singham distribute this money? He didn't just donate the money. Instead, he put it into a charitable fund under Goldman Sachs. This type of fund is called a donor-advised fund. In plain English, it means the bank manages a charitable account for you, you tell them who to give it to, and the bank makes the payment. But if an outsider checks the records, the donor they see is the bank, not you. In other words, the person behind the money and the one directing how it's distributed remains hidden. So once the money went into this kind of charitable account, where did it go next? It flowed into several newly registered non-profit organizations. One is called the People's Support Foundation, and a member of its board of directors is Singham's bride, Evans. And this organization received over 167 million U.S. dollars. Another charity called the Justice and Education Fund, which is registered to an address at a UPS store in New York, received over 68 million U.S. dollars. There's another one called the People's Welfare Association, with an address at another UPS store in Wisconsin, which received over 100 million U.S. dollars. So where did all this money go after moving from charitable accounts into these non-profit organizations located in UPS stores went into the hands of various organizations? For example, a think tank called the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research received over $16 million from one of these non-profit organizations. And who is the head of this institute? Well, is that same Indian origin scholar Prashad from The Wedding? Then there's Code Pink, the organization founded by the bride herself, which also received $1.3 million. And a news network called Breakthrough received $1.1 million. So from the outside, it looks like dozens of independent grassroots organizations, and no one can tell that the same person is funding them all behind the scenes. Starting in 2017, Singham poured $278 million into this network. And eight years later, that amount reached as high as $591 million. And this money flowed across five continents. The first stop is New York, where there's an activity center in Manhattan called the People's Forum. In 2021, the People's Forum admitted on X that it had received money from Singham. The group closest to him is a small, openly communist party in the U.S. called the Party for Socialism and Liberation. And the two hosts of the media platform associated with Singham, the Breakthrough we just mentioned, well, they are the founders of this party. So what has this network done in the U.S.? In 2024, the pro-Palestinian protests that spread across elite universities like Columbia and were very heated at the time were organized by him. This party was also behind the anti-ICE riots that broke out in Los Angeles in 2025. The second stop is in New Delhi, the capital of India. In 2023, Indian police raided a news website called Newsclick, searching the homes of 46 of their journalists all at once and arresting the founder. And Singham funneled over $10 million to this website through a non-profit organization. Singham's money also went to a political party in South Africa, the leftist newspaper Brasil de Fato, and protest movements in the UK, among many others. By this time, the young man, who once talked about Mao Zedong with his co-workers on the assembly line in a Detroit factory had already spread a network across five continents, and this network had been waiting for a spark. Until this autumn, when that fire finally ignited in France. In late September, Paris suburban students protested, demanding more teachers and better facilities. Simultaneously, war-driven diesel prices hit record highs. With students lacking teachers and drivers unable to afford fuel, frustration across France was palpable. But how What did this fire turn into the nationwide riots that followed? Because when students took to the streets to protest over education issues, a certain group quietly entered the scene and replaced the students. There's a Trotskyist organization in France called Permanent Revolution. What is a Trotskyist? Trotskyists are communists who subscribe to the Permanent Revolution theory of Leon Trotsky, an early Soviet leader. Under them, there is a youth organization called Raised Fist. this Raised Fist group embedded themselves within the protest groups in France. It was they who helped build a framework for the scattered, spontaneous crowds of protesters, including calling for every school to hold general assemblies, elect representatives, and link up across schools and cities, setting up an invisible command system. Then, they cut off any path for the students to back down from negotiations with the government. The government invited student representatives to negotiate, but he publicly stated demands, effectively replacing the students, making it appear to the outside world as if he represented the students' voices. He refused to negotiate and, furthermore, called on others not to go either. Then he began to escalate the protests, shifting the demands from the original educational issues to anti-policy, anti-Macron, and eventually to revolution. On the streets, the French Communist Party led the march, and the Communist Youth Organization unfurled the hammer and sickle flag, with banners reading Class War. The main force behind the smashing and looting was the far-left Black Bloc. The French Prime Minister stated very bluntly that it was far-left groups that organized the violence, but these all appear to be local French organizations. What evidence is there to say they took money from Singham? Hey, if you dig one layer deeper, you'll run into those familiar faces we mentioned earlier. There is an Indian diaspora organization in France called the Paris Indian Union, and this organization is one of the groups that coordinated the protests in France this time. This organization has held events with the People's Forum in New York. Who is the People's Forum? That's right, it's the one on the third layer of the chart we just discussed, the one that took over $22 million. On October 7th, the Paris Indian Union even posted, saying, Gen Z in France, in India, well done today. Then, the news website Breakthrough, which received $1.1 million, was responsible for spreading this fire to other countries. In early October, just as the student movement in France was starting, Breakthrough set the tone for it, calling it a historic strike against austerity. The video was set to intense music, with the title Tensions Escalate. On October 17th, while cars were being burned and shops looted in France, the promotional video they had prepared in New York was already edited. Footage from all over France, Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, was edited into a single clip, Anti-Macron Protest Rock France. Set to intense music, it really gets the viewer's blood pumping. That same evening, the head of the Tri-Continental Institute, that Indian origin scholar Prashad, posted a line on X, Paris, New Delhi, Buenos Aires, followed by a lyric from a British punk band, Let Fury Have the Hour. So the looted optical shops, the city halls burned to the ground, they don't see any of that. Their cameras only capture students being suppressed and angry people. And this kind of propaganda is also redundant. Behind Breakthrough, there's another alliance called the International People's Media Network. As we mentioned earlier, the Brazilian left-wing newspaper and China's Dongsheng News are all part of it. These images ultimately flowed to two places. One was the United States. On October 14th, Medea Benjamin appeared on a Breakthrough program and said, Look at France, Spain, and India. Why aren't we taken to the streets? She was building momentum for Code Pink, because from November 10th to the 12th, Code Pink would be holding an anti-military spending protest in Washington, D.C. The other destination was China. The French government stated that on October 17th, footage from Paris, Marseille, and other cities was broadcast by Russia, Iran, and the CCP on their official media, serving as the most direct evidence that the West is collapsing. As for Singham's money, current investigations reveal that while there is no direct evidence yet proving it reached the hands of the French rioters, if you cross-reference the behind the scenes instigators we've identified with the funding chart just shown, you'll find that the People's Forum, which is linked to the protest organizer Paris Indian Alliance, is funded by Singham. Breakthrough, which is responsible for editing positive videos about the riots, is funded by Singham. The Institute of Prashad, who shouted on X to let anger dominate the moment, is also funded by Singham. Evans, who called on Americans to take to the streets, and her Code Pink have an even more direct connection to Singham. She didn't pay the looters directly, but she paid to build the stage, she paid to buy the loudspeakers, and she paid to recruit the people blowing the horns. So do you think those non-profits and organizations that take the money are independent grassroots groups, or are they a team raised by Singham? If you think this is a team with sinister motives, type raising an army for me. But Singham says these organizations are all independent, and he doesn't control them. Really? According to the bylaws uncovered by U.S. media, the largest of the four organizations funded by Singham is directly managed by his wife, Evans. According to the bylaws, Singham has the authority to fire his wife and the entire board of directors. As for the other three, they were founded by employees of his company, ThoughtWorks. In other words, all those nominally independent charities are completely under his sole control. By this time, Singham had long since hidden away in a place he considered the safest. In the city center of Shanghai, there's a luxury office building called Times Square. In 2023, New York Times reporters followed the trail all the way here. On the 18th floor, there's an office decorated in red and yellow. This is Singham's base in Shanghai. But sharing this office with him was a Chinese media company called Maku. What does Maku do? Well, their slogan is something you'll find very familiar. telling China's story well. Their Chinese recruitment ads state very clearly that they produce text, audio, and video for global popular media networks and progressive think tanks, essentially a company that exports content telling China's story. And this is the CCP's external propaganda. There's another detail. According to reports from Spanish-language media, one of the people in Maku's management is named Guo Xiao, a former executive at ThoughtWorks. In other words, Singham's former subordinate is in Shanghai, well, telling China's story for the CCP. Later, the U.S. further discovered that three U.S. non-profit organizations connected to Singham, the ones we mentioned earlier, transferred a total of $9.1 million to Maku in seven separate payments. And Singham himself opened a consulting firm with several Chinese partners who are very active in the CCP's propaganda system. The New York Times reported that Singham's company collaborated with a YouTube program in Shanghai. and this program was partially funded by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the CCP's Propaganda Department. In July 2023, Singham himself even attended a training session organized by the CCP, the theme of which was how to promote the Chinese Communist Party internationally. In November 2025, at a Global South Academic Forum held in Shanghai, Singham said that if we want to build a new world order based on multilateralism, just as President Xi, the Chinese Communist Party, and China have proposed, we must eliminate the ideological damage caused by the World War II narrative. You see, an American citizen, an American tycoon, echoing the New World Order proposed by President Xi at a CCP forum. More than 20 years ago, he sat alongside Huawei, helping Huawei break into the West. 20 years later, he's in his Shanghai office, exporting the CCP's good stories to the West. And on the American side, they have already started investigating him. This summer, the U.S. Department of Justice convened a federal grand jury in New York to investigate wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering by organizations under Singham. The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee issued subpoenas to three organizations he funds, but all three refused to submit the materials. The committee issued an ultimatum. If they don't submit them by October 20th, they will summon all 21 individuals to Congress to testify under oath. The list includes Singham himself. On the 21st, the House Select Committee on the CCP publicly named Singham again, However, Congress currently has no way to compel him to testify because he's in Shanghai. And this fire of European revolution, which he is remotely orchestrating, seems to have only just begun. This Saturday, October 24th, France will hold the second act of the Yellow Vest protests. On the map, 212 events have already been marked. Taken to the streets again on October 31st, and on October 5th, France will have a nationwide cross-industry general strike. Looking further out, the whole of Europe is smoldering. In Italy, an online organization called the October 17th Movement is calling for people to take to the streets collectively every Saturday at 3.00 p.m. The major labor unions have set the general strike for November 20, a date that is very critical, which we will discuss later. In the city center of Madrid, Spain, it is already filled with protest tents. On November 11th, they will hold Spain's first nationwide general strike in 14 years. In Portugal's capital, Lisbon, and its second largest city, Porto, tent camps have also been set up. In Germany, secondary school students in hundreds of cities are collectively boycotting classes to oppose the reinstatement of conscription. The capital of Albania has seen anti-government protests erupt for a week straight. Greek students have also set up tent camps in Athens and Thargo Square. What's most worth noting, as we just mentioned, is November 20th. It is currently known that at least 12 European countries will simultaneously erupt in major strikes, with labor unions and social organizations taking to the streets collectively. And this joint action was already decided back on June 14th in Cologne, Germany. The weekend we mentioned at the beginning, when Paris was ablaze with fire, that was the 17-27 left-wing organizations from 11 countries rushed to Paris for a meeting, where they also discussed the actions for November 20th. In other words, while French students this time were still protesting purely over education issues, a massive protest sweeping across all of Europe had already had its timetable set half a year ago. While the protests in Paris were underway, they were already planning the next step. Their organizers even said that November 20th was just the beginning. So the fires in France haven't even been extinguished yet, and the next wave seems to already be on its way. Alright, that's all for today.
