The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings in late June 2025 to examine allegations that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is funding U.S. environmental groups to undermine American energy dominance. Texas Senator Ted Cruz led the inquiry, presenting evidence that China, along with other foreign and dark money donors, has contributed approximately $500 million to green lawfare organizations supporting lawsuits by Democratic-led cities and states against major oil companies. These groups are accused of influencing judges in climate-related litigation.

During the hearings, Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Dick Durbin dismissed the claims, labeling them as conspiracy theories or diverting attention to broader climate issues. The Capital Research Center's Scott Walter testified on the financial flows from China to these environmental entities. Additional concerns were raised in early July 2025 about pro-China elements within the U.S. State Department allegedly working against American interests, with warnings from Senator Marco Rubio and others that CCP-backed firms could sabotage U.S. supply chains. These developments come amid ongoing political disputes over energy policy and national security.
