I think in a few years we'll discover the same foreign funding is responsible for the degrowth movement in Europe
It's a trick to make your rivals poor and backwards so you can then outcompete them
We know for a fact the nuclear power plant closures in Germany where due to activists funded by Russia (even the European Parliament published the evidence for that!)
The anti-AI, anti-AC, pro-low quality immigration and general anti-growth is a perfect movement to amplify for foreign countries to make Europe become poor and backwards, beware!
NEW: BPI research reveals that a Marxist-Leninist group with documented ties to China has been a critical mobilizer in efforts that have blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI investment in the US.
Its scalps include 10 data center moratoria, 1 permanent data center ban, and 4 rejected or scrapped AI projects.
In Part II of our foreign influence investigation, BPI exposes the Party for Socialism and Liberation (or PSL) as the political arm of Shanghai-based Neville Singham, and lays bare a national campaign launched by the party to stop America’s data center buildout.
Singham is the subject of multiple federal investigations into his reported ties to the CCP. Our research uncovers the anti-data-center organizing of his activist vehicle, the PSL, across 21 campaigns in 14 states, in roles ranging from lead organizer to one member of a broader coalition.
This report adds to the mounting evidence that China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America’s data center buildout so that Beijing can gain the advantage in the AI race.
