When Love Becomes Influence
What happens when a Maoist tech millionaire falls in love with a far-left activist? Neville Singham, a wealthy software mogul, and Jodie Evans, the head of Code Pink, are no ordinary couple. Together, they have built a network that critics say advances the interests of China and other anti-Western powers.
From Fortune to Networks
After selling his software company, Singham redirected his wealth into a web of foundations, non-profits, and media outlets. These groups present themselves as grassroots activism but often echo the goals of foreign governments. Investigations in both the United States and India suggest his funding has been used to push propaganda and disinformation, particularly in support of Beijing. Evans, for her part, has a long record in radical activism, with Code Pink accused of being funded by the Chinese Communist Party and aligning with extremist groups in the Middle East.
A Global Reach
The couple’s influence is not limited to America. In India, outlets linked to Singham have faced accusations of spreading Chinese and Russian propaganda. In the West, groups they fund have helped organize radical pro-Palestinian rallies and have become active on university campuses. Analysts describe this as “smokeless war” — the use of activism and media to advance foreign interests without open conflict.
The West at Risk
The danger lies in how these movements appear organic while being quietly supported by foreign powers. This makes Singham and Evans one of the most influential couples most people have never heard of. Their activities show how money, networks, and activism can be weaponized to sow division and disorder. The honeymoon is over. The West must recognize that foreign influence today does not always arrive in tanks. Sometimes, it comes through protests, slogans, and activists holding megaphones.
