What appeared to be organic protests in the United States during the summer of 2020 in the wake of George Floyd's death were actually in many cases organized by members of little-known radical organizations linked to China, according to a new book by Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer.
The book, Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, details how a number of seemingly spontaneous violent protests and riots by far-left activists against police brutality over the past decade in America were organized by groups backed and funded by Beijing.

Another PSL leader named Eugene Puryear from Washington, DC, was actively involved in George Floyd protests in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and D.C. He has also praised China, and hosted a podcast episode called, "Why China Will Win: Capitalism Inherently Collapses." He has also argued that criticism of China's human rights record is "Warmongering propaganda."
Even in tiny Westville, Indiana, with population just over 5,000, PSL was among the groups who organized a protest demanding the release of all inmates from the Westville Correctional Facility, Schweizer writes.
Schweizer details how before these protests, a contingent of Chinese intelligence professionals from the Second Department of the People's Liberation Army, a Chinese military intelligence unit, landed at the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas, sometime in the first half of 2020, posing as academics under so-called J-1 research visas and not disclosing their affiliation with the Chinese military.
"The United States has its dividing issues and problems-but China is happy to fan the flames. Much of that work is being done by groups that meet with CCP officials, are tracked by Chinese Communist intelligence, and receive funding from China," he concludes.
