Average Investor Unknowingly Financing Firms Complicit in Uyghur Genocide—Keith Krach, Ellie Cohanim

State Department list of over 1,200 Chinese companies tied to the Chinese military, surveillance state, or China's military-civilian fusion strategy “What's really sad is that the average American investor is unknowingly financing the Chinese Communist Party,” says former Undersecretary of State Keith Krach. Americans inadvertently funded companies tied to China’s human rights abuses through American pension funds, university endowments, foundations, mutual funds, and bond portfolios. What responsibility do Americans have to help stop the genocide of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang? What can the average American do that would actually make a difference? In this episode, we sit down with former Undersecretary of State Keith Krach, who led the Trump administration’s Clean Network Initiative, to keep vendors linked to the Chinese regime out of global 5G infrastructure. For his work, he was sanctioned by China. Also joining us today is former State Department official Ellie Cohanim, who served as the Deputy Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.
