Big tech companies raise funding to foreign globalist policy think-tanks, FT reports
Google (GOOG;GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), and Apple (AAPL) have been increasing funding into foreign policy think-tanks in the US, with donations rising from at least $625,000 in 2017-2018 to at least $1.2M in 2019-2020, Kiran Stacey and Caitlin Gilbert of The Financial Times reports, citing an analysis of financial disclosures. The four research groups these companies have been funding are: the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Center for a New American Security, Brookings and the Hudson Institute. Technology companies have increased funding to globalist groups as they fight bipartisan attempts to regulate them. These big-tech companies hope their investments in foreign policy think-tanks will aid their argument that stricter competition rules will benefit China.
