Senate Hearing Explores China’s Role In Funding U.S. Climate Groups

UNITED STATES, JUN 25 – Senate hearing alleges China funds U.S. climate litigation to weaken American energy independence, with over $12 million funneled to advocacy groups, raising national security concerns.

  • On June 25, 2025, Senator Ted Cruz chaired a Senate subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C., to examine Chinese funding of U.S. climate advocacy groups and related litigation.

  • Witnesses detailed how these groups file lawsuits to bankrupt oil, gas, and coal companies, while China-backed green technologies with undisclosed security vulnerabilities enter the U.S. power grid.
  • Cruz claimed that the Chinese Communist Party is financially supporting and coordinating efforts by the radical left to take over the judicial system, while the EFC has contributed over $12 million to related advocacy organizations.
  • The hearing highlighted risks to U.S. energy independence and national security, prompting calls for federal investigation into Energy Foundation China's role and potential unregistered foreign agent status.
