  • One of the largest environmentalist charities receiving public funding in the United States maintains a branch in China in which multiple former members of the Chinese government hold senior leadership positions.

The article from MSN discusses a report by the Heritage Foundation revealing that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked organization, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), has been receiving tens of millions of dollars in federal grants annually.
