These foundations, including the Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund,\u200d have been linked to funding programs that inadvertently or directly support Chinese interests.<\/p>\n<p>The Energy Foundation China (EFC), largely staffed by former Chinese officials, is highlighted \u200bas a key player in this dynamic, channeling millions of dollars to American environmental groups like \u2063the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Rocky Mountain institute (RMI). analysts from organizations like the Heritage Foundation argue that China&#8217;s engagement in global\u2063 green energy initiatives serves to undermine the U.S. \u200dand enhance its own economic position.<\/p>\n<p>The article raises concerns about the implications of such funding relationships, \u200csuggesting \u2063that the U.S. green energy push could inadvertently \u200cbolster China&#8217;s dominance in sectors \u2064like solar panels and electric vehicles,\u2063 while simultaneously constraining America&#8217;s oil and gas industry. Furthermore,the support from American philanthropists to chinese-linked initiatives\u200d raises ethical questions about \u2064their role in promoting policies that may favor authoritarian\u2064 regimes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">America&rsquo;s green movement has a China problem<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1909461\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Every year, charities with leadership linked to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Chinese\">Chinese<\/a> Communist Party pump millions of dollars into American <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/environmentalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Chinese\">environmentalist<\/a> charities, and, in turn, United States nonprofit groups affiliated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/green-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">green movement<\/a> send millions more overseas to aid either the Chinese government directly or organizations closely linked to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Major American foundations, collectively controlling tens of billions of dollars&rsquo; worth of assets, take it upon themselves annually to support the Chinese government&rsquo;s environmental and diplomatic goals.

Among them are board members Zhang Hongjun, He Kebin, Shenyu Belsky, and Hongpeng Lei. Kebin, who was previously a representative in the Beijing Municipal People&rsquo;s Congress, was awarded the title of &ldquo;outstanding member of the [Chinese] communist party&rdquo; at a celebration marking the 99th anniversary of the CCP in 2020.
