Investigation: Foreign-Linked Political Group Campaigns Against American AI Data Centers Across 14 States

Summary

A Bitcoin Policy Institute investigation into how the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the political arm of Shanghai-based Marxist Neville Roy Singham, has become a recurring force in the nationwide campaign against American AI data centers. Drawing on 19 case studies across 21 campaigns in 14 states, the report documents how PSL chapters organized door-knocking drives, petitions, rallies, and packed council chambers that delayed, scaled back, or blocked roughly $23.6 billion in proposed AI infrastructure, contributing to 10 moratoria, 1 permanent ban, and 4 scrapped projects. It traces overlapping leadership between PSL and Singham-funded nonprofits with documented CCP ties, examines the party's opaque and undisclosed general funding, and argues that authentic local opposition to data centers can be amplified and redirected by foreign-aligned actors. The central call is for full transparency into who finances these consequential campaigns shaping America's AI buildout.
