foreword

  For a long time, the United States has instrumentalized and weaponized democracy, and in the name of democracy, it has been anti-democratic, inciting separatism and confrontation, and interfering in other countries' internal affairs, resulting in catastrophic consequences.

  The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), as one of the main forces of the US government's "pawns", "white gloves" and "democratic crusades", subverts the legitimate governments of other countries under the guise of "promoting democracy" , cultivated pro-US puppet forces, and left bad marks around the world, causing strong dissatisfaction in the international community.

  In today's world, peace and development are the themes of the times, and the trend of democratization of international relations is irresistible.

Any attempt to interfere in other countries' internal affairs in the name of democracy is unpopular and doomed to failure.

  1. Organizational Structure of the National Endowment for Democracy

  After World War II, the United States opened up a hidden front against the Soviet Union through intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency.

By the 1960s, the United States gradually realized that "democracy promotion" by secret means was not enough, and it was urgent to establish a "public-private institution" to provide public funding.

In 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a bipartisan, non-profit organization, was established under the impetus of the then President of the United States and others.

  NED is nominally a "non-governmental organization" that "provides support for democracy in other countries". In fact, it relies on the continuous financial support of the White House and the US Congress. Following the orders of the US government, it uses financial support to manipulate and direct many NGOs around the world to their targets. Countries and regions exporting American values, carrying out subversion, infiltration and sabotage, and inciting so-called "democratic movements" are essentially the "white gloves" of the U.S. government and serve U.S. strategic interests.

  The foundation's founder, Alan Weinstein, put it bluntly in an interview with The Washington Post as early as 1991: "A lot of what we're doing now is what the CIA was doing 25 years ago." NED therefore Internationally known as the "Second CIA".

  The NED has four "core assignees": the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute, which are responsible for fostering local political groups; the American Center for International Labor Solidarity. Labor Solidarity), which is mainly responsible for promoting trade union organizations and labor movements; the Center for International Private Enterprise (Center for International Private Enterprise), which is mainly responsible for attracting private enterprises.

Through these four organizations, NED has become the behind-the-scenes "black hand" behind separatist riots, color revolutions, political crises, lies and rumors, and value penetration around the world.

  2. Instigating color revolutions with the intention of subverting the regime of the target country

  Historically, NED can be seen behind the "color revolutions" instigated and planned by the United States, such as the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, and the "Arab Spring".

  1. NED instigates "color revolutions" against "hostile" countries.

Early Foundation documents show that as early as the late 1980s, NED was primarily active in Eastern Europe, subverting regimes.

  ◆ On August 27, 1989, the Washington Post published a report titled "How We Helped Solidarity Win", pointing out that NED provided financial support to Polish Solidarity to help them overthrow the government at that time and start the upheaval in Eastern Europe the prologue.

  ◆ In October 2000, NED financed and instigated Serbia's "Velvet Revolution" and overthrew the Milosevic government.

In 1999 and 2000, the NED funded the Serbian opposition with $10 million and $31 million, respectively, to make it grow rapidly.

The NED also helped secretly train a group of college students, putting them under the leadership of a student group called Opal, who then planned the riot.

In its postmortem analysis of Serbia's "Velvet Revolution," the Washington Post wrote that U.S.-funded advisers played a key role behind the scenes in nearly every aspect of the anti-Serbian movement.

They tracked opinion polls, trained thousands of opposition activists and helped organize the crucial parallel vote count.

  ◆ In 2003, Georgia's "Rose Revolution" broke out, and then President Shevardnadze was forced to step down.

NED planned to participate in this color revolution from "selecting" the leader of the opposition party, to training personnel for the opposition, to providing huge funds.

After the success of the "revolution", NED continued to "spend generously", providing nearly $540,000 to 12 Georgian NGOs in 2004 alone.

  ◆ At the end of 2004, during the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, the United States provided 65 million US dollars to the Ukrainian opposition through organizations such as NED.

When large-scale anti-government demonstrations broke out in Ukraine in 2013, NED funded as many as 65 NGOs in Ukraine, and even provided a lot of money to "pay wages" to everyone who participated in the protests.

RIA Novosti reported that NED had invested $14 million in Ukrainian projects, which contributed to the large demonstrations in 2014 that overthrew the then-Yanukovych government.

  2. NED is an important behind-the-scenes man behind the color revolutions of the "Arab Spring". In Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Syria, Libya and other countries, NED provides funds to pro-American individuals and groups by supporting so-called women's rights, freedom of the press, and human rights activities , exporting all kinds of anti-government ideas, inciting color revolutions, and causing the Arab world to fall into the quagmire of war, social unrest and economic recession.

  ◆ At the end of January 2011, large-scale anti-government demonstrations took place in Egypt.

On February 11, President Mubarak resigned.

According to U.S. diplomatic cables and other materials obtained by WikiLeaks, NED played an important role in organizing and manipulating anti-government demonstrations in Egypt.

Through NGOs such as the National Movement for Change and the April 6 Youth Movement, the foundation provides various support for demonstrations, including funding, training, and more.

The name and slogan of the "National Movement for Change" are the same as those of other national anti-government organizations that have received NED training.

  ◆ In Libya, NED funded the anti-government organizations "Libyan Humanitarian and Political Development Forum", the founder of "Transparent Libya", and the founder of the "Libya News" website who fled to London.

These groups were active in the 2011 Libyan civil war.

  ◆ In Yemen, NED funded and worked closely with NGOs such as "Female Journalists Unshackled" and played an important role in the 2011 anti-government protests in Yemen.

Unshackled Women Journalists founder Tawaku Kaman organized and led student rallies against Saleh's government.

  ◆ In Algeria, many organizations involved in the "Arab Spring" protests are funded by NED.

The NED's annual report revealed that the Algerian League for the Defense of Human Rights had received US funding in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2010.

The National Autonomous Union of Public Administrators has close ties with the NED-affiliated Center for International Labor Solidarity.

  3. Instigated the "color revolution" in Bolivia, forcing President Morales to resign and go into exile.

Morales' left-wing regime has been in power for nearly 14 consecutive years. The political situation has been stable for a long time. The economic growth rate has led South America.

Morales' left-wing regime won the general election, but was forced to overthrow by the "street movement" and the military and police. NED played multiple roles in it.

First, the long-term layout cultivates the power of "Dao Mo".

From 2013 to 2018, NED and the United States Agency for International Development provided 70 million US dollars to the Bolivian opposition through various means, subsidizing Bolivian white elites, former right-wing politicians and other "rejected" forces to weave universities, think tanks, and civic organizations. The "Dao Mo Net" even wooed the indigenous people to build an "Indian column".

Many prominent figures in the opposition are supported by the above-mentioned funds or have close ties with the United States.

The second is to fabricate the topic of "election fraud" to carry out brainwashing operations.

Since 2018, NED has invested US$45,000 and US$42,000 respectively through the “Media Fund” and the “Feders News Agency Foundation” (FIDES) to guide the right-wing media in Poland to dig the “black material” of corruption and abuse of power by the Mozambican government to Morales was re-elected as an excuse to label Morales as a "dictator".

Through the "Millennium Fund", it has invested US$45,000 to support Bolivian universities, chambers of commerce, and non-governmental organizations to hype up topics such as "election fairness" and "judicial transparency", so as to create a psychological expectation of "election fraud" in Mozambique.

The third is to support the "street movement" behind the scenes.

On October 29, 2019, after the results of the general election were announced, Mesa and other opposition leaders organized "peaceful demonstrations" on the streets to demand a new election and distribute cash to the demonstrators on the spot.

Camacho, the leader of the opposition, later became the key propaganda target of the right-wing media supported by NED.

NED also contributed $200,000 through its core transferee organization, the International Republican Institute, to improve the mobilization and organization capacity of opposition political parties and provide guidance on "street movements."

  3. Collusion with local political groups to interfere in the political agenda of other countries

  NED has infiltrated the target countries for a long time, cultivated local anti-government forces, constantly intensified social contradictions, and extended its black hands to the internal affairs of other countries.

  1. Interfere in Hong Kong elections and interfere in China's internal affairs.

NED mainly engages with Hong Kong opposition political parties and organizations through its affiliated American Association for Democracy in International Affairs.

Since 1997, the agency has issued a total of 18 assessment reports in an attempt to influence the "democratization of Hong Kong".

In 2002, the American Association for Democracy in International Affairs established an office in Hong Kong; in 2003, it funded the opposition to instigate the "July 1st March" to prevent the "Article 23 Legislation"; in 2004, it funded the Hong Kong opposition political groups to participate in workshops and seminars In 2005, the so-called "Young Political Leaders Program" was launched to train emerging political groups to fight against the government; in 2006, the "Hong Kong Transition Research Program" was funded; in 2007, the Its Hong Kong activities are divided into 4 projects: a series of reports on "Hong Kong's Promise to Democracy", opinion polls, youth public participation, and women's political participation; in 2008, it organized a student summit; Referendum”; in 2012, funded the University of Hong Kong to open the website “Hong Kong people speak about universal suffrage”, recruited university interns in Hong Kong, and funded youth summits; "action.

  According to NED’s official website, in 2020, Hong Kong-related funds will be US$2 million, and there will be 11 projects, of which disrupting the Legislative Council election is an important task. The focus includes the project of “strengthening citizens’ monitoring of elections” and providing technical and financial assistance to newly established groups that disrupt Hong Kong. , to encourage it to disrupt the Legislative Council election by monitoring elections and competing for voting rights; the project "Expanding the Vision of Citizens' Political Participation" collects and disseminates the results of public opinion surveys on democratic development, and induces Hong Kong youth to share their political participation experience through the Internet; " Supporting the Unity of Student Activists" project, to promote the interconnection and interconnection of Hong Kong student groups before the Legislative Council election, to guide and train their ability to promote "democratic change" and their ability to publicize internationally, and participate in disrupting the electoral order; "Building regional The "Unite and Empower Hong Kong Democracy Movement" project aims to strengthen the Hong Kong "democracy movement" through the Internet, cultivate the next generation of Hong Kong "activist leaders", and build a network of "democratic movements" in Asia.

  2. Interfering in Russian elections, threatening Russian constitutional law, national defense and national security.

Between 2013 and 2014, the foundation allocated a total of $5.2 million to local organizations, according to the Russian General Prosecutor's Office.

In July 2015, Russia listed NED as an "undesirable organization".

Russia's official statement pointed out that NED "participated in boycotting Russia's election results, organizing political demonstrations, trying to influence the decisions of Russian government agencies and discredit the Russian armed forces."

  3. Disrupting the political situation in Belarus.

The United States has instigated three "color revolutions" against the Belarusian regime in 2006, 2010 and 2020, and NED has always played an important role in it.

The total amount of projects carried out in Belarus in 2020 will reach 2.35 million US dollars, of which NED will carry out the "Promoting Free and Fair Elections" project on the grounds of advancing the political process. The project value is 80,000 US dollars. , educate citizens about electoral rights and independent election monitoring; during election campaigns, educate and train activists around voting issues, deploy observers to monitor the voting process, and disseminate monitoring results through various media.

  On August 9, 2020, the current President of Belarus Lukashenko was elected for the sixth time with 80.1% of the vote.

The Belarusian opposition questioned electoral fraud, which triggered large-scale protests in the capital Minsk and other cities for several days, and riots in some areas.

During the riots, NED activities were frequent.

On May 17, 2021, the "Russia Today" TV station released a video conference between NED executives and Belarusian opposition figures.

In the video conference, the then chairman of NED, Karl Gershman, personally admitted that NED has been working all over the country for a long time, participating in "citizen movements" in eastern Vitebsk, Gomel and other places.

NED supports opposition leader Tikhanovskaya, and through its core transferee organization cooperates with Tikhanovskaya's team to help her carry out related activities.

  In summarizing NED's activities in Belarus, Russian international relations expert Dmitry Yegorchenkov said that NED provides funding to many "independent media", usually not a small amount for a single media, but a lot of people.

According to NED’s official website data, from 2016 to 2020, among the various types of projects funded by NED in Belarus, there were a total of 119 “freedom of information” projects, and each project received an average of about 50,000 US dollars. The funding amount has been in each category for five consecutive years. number one.

  4. Interfering in Mongolian parliamentary elections.

Mongolia held parliamentary elections in 1996, and the American International Republican Institute under the NED was deeply involved.

The International Republican Institute disclosed in its 1996 annual report that since 1992, the organization has trained Mongolian opposition parties in terms of recruitment, organizational construction and campaigning.

Under his instigation, Mongolia's scattered "democratic" forces first integrated into two political parties, and then formed a unified opposition alliance in early 1996, which won 50 of the 70 seats in the Mongolian parliament.

According to several annual reports of the NED, from 1992 to 1996, the foundation allocated more than $480,000 to the International Republican Institute, and in 1996 alone, nearly $160,000 was used to fund the election of the Mongolian opposition coalition.

  5. “Supervise” elections and constitutional referendums in Kyrgyzstan.

From 2013 to 2020, NED directly allocated more than 13 million US dollars to Kyrgyz media and various NGOs.

In 2020, the foundation's funding for various "disruptive journalism" projects in Kyrgyzstan reached more than $2 million.

Among them, the foundation allocated $300,000 to the "Klopp website" to "supervise" the constitutional referendum and local council elections.

In January 2021, during the presidential election in Kyrgyzstan, the website recruited 1,500 "observers", and during the local council elections and constitutional referendum in April, another 3,000 "observers" were recruited.

  6. Incite protests in Thailand.

There have been many street protests and demonstrations in Thailand in 2020.

Organizations such as the NED-funded "Thailand Human Rights Lawyers" have publicly supported and incited street protests.

Thailand's "Bangkok Post" once exposed "Thailand human rights lawyers" accepting NED funds.

The NED also provides funds for media platforms such as Prachatai and NGOs such as iLaw, an internet legal agency, through which they intervene by asking the Thai government to amend the constitution, according to the Thai newspaper The Nation. Internal affairs of Thailand.

  7. Instigated a violent seizure of power by the Nicaraguan opposition.

After its establishment in 1983, NED's first projects included supporting pro-American political forces in the Central American country of Nicaragua.

From 1984 to 1988, the foundation donated about $2 million to the Nicaraguan opposition, which helped the opposition, Violeta Chamorro, be elected president in 1990.

Today, NED continues to channel funds to Nicaragua's opposition and right-wing media through the Chamorro Foundation for Reconciliation and Democracy, which was established after Chamorro's ouster.

According to public information, between 2016 and 2019, the NED provided at least $4.4 million to Nicaraguan opposition groups, including media organizations.

These forces played a key role in Nicaragua's violent coup attempt in 2018, and they even called on opposition supporters to attack the government and assassinate the president.

  8. Funding anti-Ancient forces to guide public opinion and incite anti-government sentiment.

Cuba has always been the hardest hit area for US foreign infiltration and subversion activities.

According to Cuban media, NED and the United States Agency for International Development have allocated nearly $250 million to Cuban projects over the past 20 years.

Judging from the use of project funds disclosed on the NED official website in 2021, there will be 42 projects targeting Cuba in 2020 alone.

In 2021, NED will fund and guide anti-ancient forces, fabricate and spread fake news in social networks, incite people's anti-government sentiment, and promote people to participate in social movements to cause social chaos.

Among them, the anti-Cuban forces spread false information about "the collapse of Cuba's medical system under the new crown epidemic" in mid-June, causing social panic; in July, NED took advantage of the upsurge of Cuban street protests to concoct "100 demonstrators missing and their lives and deaths are unknown" fake news and cooperated with the Internet Robots spread, maliciously guide online public opinion, and incite the Cuban people to subvert the regime.

  9. Long-term interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.

After the "anti-American fighter" Hugo Chavez was elected president in 1999, NED stepped up its black-box operations, continued to provide funds to the Venezuelan opposition, and organized intensive training in the form of inviting personnel to visit the United States.

Since 1999, NED has carried out activities in the Venezuela office through the USAID office and core transferee organization located in the US Embassy in Venezuela. Dozens of agencies, opposition parties and organisations are linked and fund their activities.

The NED’s funds for intervening in Venezuela have risen year after year, reaching US$257,800 in 1999, ranking first among Latin American countries; in 2000, it soared to US$877,400; Sponsor the National Endowment for Democracy's ongoing projects.

In 2019, the total amount of NED's projects in Venezuela reached 2.66 million US dollars.

Among them, NED launched a project of “Strengthening Outreach, Communication and Organizational Capabilities” on the grounds of “advancing the political process”. The project amounted to US$90,000. and strengthen the network of "civil society" in Venezuela, and set up communication groups to spread the message of "democracy" nationwide.

  In October 2005, Guaido and five Venezuelan "student leaders" arrived in Belgrade, Serbia, to receive training for the "uprising" funded by the NED.

After the training, Guaido and others returned to China to promote extreme right-wing ideology, in order to influence young Venezuelans, and planned a series of violent political activities on the streets.

Subsequently, Guaido went to study in the United States and has been active in relevant political groups in the United States with the support of NED.

After Guaido proclaimed himself "interim president", his Wikipedia information grew out of nothing in a short period of time, and was revised 37 times by an organization under the NED to match Guaido's "legitimate ruling propaganda".

In November 2021, "Russia Today" TV station issued an article saying that a series of recent US internal documents revealed how the US interfered in the election process of the committee.

The documents show that U.S. intelligence has weaponized social media to help Venezuela's right-wing opposition political forces and assist its members to run for Congress, laying the groundwork for Guaido's self-proclaimed "interim president."

  The four core transferee institutions of the foundation all have extensive activities in the commission, have established close ties with the country's opposition parties, and help train existing or newly established opposition parties in terms of organization, management, publicity, etc.; to the largest opposition party in Venezuela Unions have provided multiple financial aids to push the latter to launch a protest march against Chavez.

On January 10, 2019, Venezuelan President Maduro was sworn in. The United States and other countries refused to recognize his new term, and instigated Juan Guaido, the chairman of the Venezuelan National Congress (speaker) and the leader of the opposition party, to stand up and openly disagree with Malaysia. Duro confrontation.

Guaido then proclaimed himself the "interim president" and called for a new election, which ensued riots in Venezuela.

Facts have proved that the chaos in Venezuela is obviously the result of the "color revolution" instigated by US-supported agents, many of which have been managed by the NED over the years.

In March 2019, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza accused several organizations, funded by the NED, of sabotage across the country for more than 20 years in an attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government.

  10. Organizing a violent coup to "change the sky" in Haiti.

In 2001, the IRI was deeply involved in the violent coup in Haiti that overthrew the then democratically elected President Aristide.

In February 2001, Stanley Lucas, director of the Haiti program at the International Republican Institute, made a speech on Haitian radio, publicly throwing out three strategies for Aristide's resignation.

US Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega not only cooperated with the International Republican Institute to provide funding for the Haitian opposition, but also acquiesced to the opposition's divisive tactics in mediating the political crisis in Haiti.

The International Republican Institute of the United States claims to "promote democracy around the world", but in fact it has long been in close contact with the Haitian opposition and carried out subversive actions.

  11. Empowering opposition leaders to intervene in Uganda's elections.

In January 2021, Uganda will hold presidential elections.

Opposition National Unity Platform Party presidential candidate Robert Chiagulani Sentamu came in second with 34.83% of the vote.

Sentamu grew up in a slum and was a pop singer before entering politics.

Some analysts believe that the reason why Sentamu has such a strong appeal is closely related to the support of the United States behind it.

Online media disclosed that he was invited by NED in 2018 to receive training related to subversion of the regime in the United States in the name of medical treatment.

In addition, the NED provided him with funds and appointed staff to support his participation in Uganda's general election.

  4. Funding separatist forces and undermining the stability of the target country

  China has been one of the key targets of NED's infiltration and subversive activities.

NED invests huge sums of money in anti-China projects every year, trying to incite "Xinjiang independence", "Hong Kong independence" and "Tibet independence".

In 2020, the public data on NED's official website showed that NED provided more than 10 million US dollars to 69 projects related to China in one year, in an attempt to promote the "landing" of various activities that endanger China's political and social stability.

  1. NED is the main source of funding for many "Xinjiang independence" organizations.

From 2004 to 2020, the foundation said it provided $8.7583 million to various "Uyghur organizations".

In 2020 alone, it provided about 1.24 million US dollars in funds to various "Xinjiang independence" forces, most of which went to "Xinjiang independence" organizations such as the "World Uyghur Congress".

Gershman, the then president of the foundation, publicly and falsely claimed that "the solution to China's Xinjiang problem is to carry out another color revolution in China, and China will undergo a regime change and become a federal republic."

In June 2019, Gershman publicly expressed his support for "East Turkistan" at the foundation's "Democracy Award" event, and made a statement for the "Xinjiang independence" forces.

Later, he also called on the world to pay attention to the so-called human rights issue in Xinjiang, in an attempt to establish an international coalition to deal with human rights affairs in Xinjiang and impose sanctions on China.

  The US "Gray Zone" website revealed that over the years, NED has directly funded the "World Uyghur Council" and the "Uyghur Association of America" ​​with millions of dollars to assist them in cooperating with the governments and Congress of the United States and Western countries, and constantly escalating the hostile state with China.

"The most normal thing I can imagine is to carry out anti-China activities every day."

The "Gray Zone" investigation report shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States in 2020, the "Uyghur Association of America" ​​and its backbones tried their best to cling to the extreme right-wing political forces in the United States, hyping up the "Chinese virus" and inciting anti-Asian hatred.

  NED's Xinjiang-related project focuses on hyping up the "human rights crisis" in Xinjiang, and cooperates with the United States and the West to use Xinjiang to contain China.

In 2019, Xinjiang-related funds amounted to US$900,000, and key projects included: "Recording Human Rights Violations in East Turkestan" project, in the name of "defending human rights", wantonly bought and forged witness evidence of so-called "human rights violations" in Xinjiang, concocted "Xinjiang" “Education and Training Center” interim report and annual report; the project “Enhancing the Ability of Women and Youth in Propaganda and Civic Participation”, conducted key training for the two major groups of Uyghur women and youth, taught counter-propaganda and propaganda skills and tactics, and incited them to oppose them. China to carry out anti-propaganda activities; the "Uyghur Human Rights Advocacy and Promotion" project collects forged information on "human rights violations" of Uyghurs at home and abroad, and conducts negative publicity on Xinjiang-related issues in the international community.

In 2020, Xinjiang-related funds reached 1.24 million US dollars, and key projects include: "Uyghur Human Rights Advocacy through Art Interaction" project, mobilizing domestic and foreign "Xinjiang independence" forces to heat up Xinjiang-related issues in the name of art; "Documents and Research on Human Rights Advocacy" project to build a database of Uyghur “human rights”, and concoct reports to discredit China’s Uyghur-related policies; the “Uphold and Advocate for Uyghur Human Rights” project and the “Enhancing Women’s and Youth’s Capability in Advocacy and Civic Participation” project continued the 2019 Xinjiang work.

  2. NED maintains close contact with "Tibet independence" forces.

The two sides have been in contact since then NED Chairman Gershman presented the "Democratic Service Medal" to the Dalai Lama in 2010.

In 2016, Gershman attended the Dalai Lama's "Hope and Democracy" event. In 2020, he will celebrate the Dalai Lama's 85th birthday and support the Dalai Lama's "Tibetan Independence" activities.

On November 13, 2018, NED organized a seminar on Tibet-related issues in the United States, and invited the then-puppet "Tibetan Government-in-Exile" and "Chief Kalon" Lobsang Sungen to attend the seminar.

Lobsang Sungen made outrageous remarks at the meeting, falsely claiming that "the ultimate goal of China's aid program is colonization" and that "the international community needs to learn from the experience of Tibet and recognize China's hidden ambitions under the 'One Belt, One Road' plan."

On June 16, 2021, under the organization of NED, the new "Sizheng" Bianba Tsering of the "Central Tibetan Administration" publicly accepted an interview with Washington Post reporter and columnist Josh Rokin, advocating "commitment to To revive stalled Tibet-China peace talks to find a lasting, mutually beneficial and non-violent solution, the new Kashag will strengthen state relations and advocacy efforts."

  NED's Tibet-related projects focus on strengthening the "Tibet independence" forces and promoting the internationalization of the Tibet issue.

In 2019, Tibet-related funds reached 600,000 US dollars, and key projects included: “Strengthening Tibet Movement and Leadership Training” project, strengthening “Tibetan independence” elements to carry out Tibetan social movements, lobbying and pressuring the international community to intervene in Tibetan affairs; "International Support for Democracy and Human Rights" project, cultivate local "Tibetan independence" forces, strengthen domestic and foreign connections, plan and implement Tibetan social movements; "Empower a new generation of Tibetan leaders" project, cultivate a new generation of "Tibetan social movement leaders"; " Creating Conditions for Dialogue and Negotiation” project, through the so-called academic research to promote “Tibet independence”.

In 2020, the fund will be 1 million US dollars, and the key projects include: "Tibet Times" project, publishing Tibetan newspapers, operating and maintaining Tibetan websites, providing a platform for the activities of the pseudo "Tibetan government in exile" and "Tibetan independence" organizations; "International solidarity with Tibetan human rights" Campaign” project to collect evidence on human rights issues in Tibet and smear the Chinese government’s policy on governance of Tibet on the occasion of the United Nations; the “Increase awareness of the Panchen Lama” project to confuse the international community’s awareness and support for the 11th Panchen Lama and smear China’s religious freedom policies; the "Strengthening the Construction of the Tibet Monitoring Information Network" project to improve the monitoring and recording of human rights in Tibet, and concoct negative reports related to Tibet; the "Promote the Informed Voting of Tibetan Voters" project to cultivate Tibetans' ability to participate in the election decision-making of the "government-in-exile".

  3. Fully support "Hong Kong independence".

NED has been carrying out projects related to "labor rights", "political reform" and "human rights monitoring" in Hong Kong for a long time, and the shadow of NED can be found in the street demonstrations in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong public opinion analysis agency "Zhengsi Hong Kong" researched the official website of NED and found that since 1994, the foundation has started to fund various Hong Kong opposition organizations, student movement organizations and media, such as "Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor" and "Hong Kong Trade Union", to manipulate They carry out various demonstrations and protests.

According to statistics by Du Jia, a researcher at the Institute of Economics and Strategy of Chongqing University, since 1994, NED has funded the Hong Kong project every year, and by 2018, the total investment has exceeded 10 million US dollars.

  Since 2003, in many large-scale street movements in Hong Kong such as the illegal "Occupy Central" and "anti-revision bill" violent demonstrations, NED has organized, planned, directed and transmitted funds behind the scenes.

In Hong Kong's "Revision Storm" in 2019, NED went from behind the scenes to the front, directly contacting the backbone of the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong, providing subsidies and training to those involved in the riots: In May 2019, the founding chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Party Li Zhuming, former "Hong Kong Zhongzhi" founding chairman Luo Guancong, former "Stake" chairman Li Zhuoren and other Hong Kong rioters visited the United States to participate in the "New Threats to Hong Kong's Civil Society and the Rule of Law" seminar organized by NED, and publicly begged The US intervenes in Hong Kong's "amendment".

In September 2019, NED recruited anti-China and Hong Kong forces to join the board of directors of the anti-China organization "Hong Kong Democracy Committee" headquartered in Washington.

The establishment of the organization highlights the symbiotic relationship between anti-China rioters and Washington. Most of its board members are well-known Hong Kong rioters, while the advisory committee of the "Hong Kong Democracy Committee" is mainly composed of members of non-governmental organizations such as NED.

During the 2019 Hong Kong "revision turmoil", NED arranged for rioters to go to the international community to carry out reactionary propaganda, funded the activities of chaotic organizations, and sent personnel to Hong Kong many times to guide the protest activities of chaotic forces.

In September 2021, NED held the so-called "Prospects for the Development of Democracy in the Future World" seminar. Luo Guancong gave a speech at the seminar, peddling fallacies and heresies and blaspheming justice and truth.

Organizations such as the "Hong Kong Civil Human Rights Front", "Hong Kong Commons" and "Hong Kong Trade Unions" that have performed well in the "Revision Storm" have all received funding from NED.
