Charlie Kirk’s assassination was not an isolated act of violence. Increasing evidence suggests that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may have been a supporter or indirect instigator behind it. While the final conclusion still depends on judicial and investigative findings, publicly available facts and clues already outline a strong possibility that the CCP was connected at the levels of funding, organization, and information operations.

Publicly Available Evidence

1. FBI Investigation into Armed Queers Salt Lake City (AQSLC)
Multiple mainstream outlets and police briefings confirmed that Kirk was murdered in Utah, and suspect Tyler Robinson has been indicted. The FBI is investigating whether there was an “extended network” providing support, including AQSLC. The group deleted its Instagram account immediately after the incident, raising public suspicion.

2. Public Accusations by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna
Congresswoman Luna stated on X that AQSLC is under FBI investigation and that its founder had ties to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). PSL’s funding channels are linked to Neville Roy Singham and a network repeatedly identified as connected to the CCP (including The People’s Forum and affiliated organizations). She also called for investigation and freezing of related assets. Her statement has been widely reported by media outlets.

3. AQSLC Founder and Leftist Network Background
Reports identified Ermiya Fanaeian as the founder of AQSLC. She had previously organized a PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) study group with students at the University of Utah and was active in campus-based leftist discussions and events. She also had early involvement with the LGBTQ gun rights group Pink Pistols but later broke with them. Pink Pistols mainly emphasizes lawful armed self-defense and is relatively moderate, whereas AQSLC took a far more radical stance—linking weapons to political struggle (echoing Mao Zedong’s dictum that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”). For example, AQSLC promoted “armed self-defense training” and in its events declared the need to resist so-called “fascist threats,” openly employing violent political rhetoric. This contrast highlights that AQSLC is not a simple self-defense group but a politicized militant formation evolving toward extremism and radicalization. Its strategies, rhetoric, and actions all follow a trajectory more aligned with CCP-style revolutionary logic than with traditional community defense.

(AQSLC and Pink Pistols: Reports note that Fanaeian once had connections with Pink Pistols but ultimately split from them. While Pink Pistols focused on lawful self-defense, AQSLC turned toward radical militancy and political violence. The divergence underscores AQSLC’s character as a politicized armed group moving in an extremist direction, closer to revolutionary ideology than to community protection.)

(Additional Note: Pink Pistols is an independent gun-rights group formed by members of the LGBTQ community. Its name uses “LGBTQ” as a community identity label, and its members include gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. It is not a branch of any supposed “LGBTQ umbrella organization.” Its core mission is lawful armed defense against violence and discrimination. This stands in sharp contrast to AQSLC’s radical political orientation.)

4. Singham—PSL—People’s Forum—CCP Influence Network

• In 2025, the U.S. House Oversight and Ways & Means Committees jointly sent letters requiring Singham and The People’s Forum to provide documents, citing suspicions that these organizations funded unrest and pro-Palestine/anti-Israel protests in the U.S., and were financially tied to PSL.
• A 2023 New York Times investigation detailed how Singham’s funding network aligned with CCP narratives abroad. Multiple lawmakers later called on the DOJ and FARA to investigate further.
• A 2025 report by George Washington University’s Extremism Program mapped how Singham’s funding network was involved in U.S. radical movements and overlapped with CCP influence operations.

5. Foreign Influence in the Information War
Politico reported that after Kirk’s murder, China, Russia, and Iran quickly exploited the incident online, amplifying divisive narratives. This demonstrates that foreign adversaries were indeed involved in the information war dimension of the case.

Summary: Current public evidence confirms that AQSLC is under FBI investigation, its founder has ties to radical leftist networks, and those networks intersect with Singham’s funding system, which has repeatedly been identified as aligned with CCP influence efforts. While no direct judicial evidence has yet shown the CCP ordered or financed the assassination, the indirect links are already highly significant.

Why the CCP Fears Charlie Kirk Most

Whistleblower Guo Wengui previously revealed that CCP elites have said they do not worry much about “internet influencers” who exist only online, as they may cause temporary noise but are soon drowned out by other narratives. What the CCP fears most are those who go beyond social media—stepping into real life, engaging directly with America’s youth, and inspiring them.

Charlie Kirk was exactly such a figure:

• He not only spread truth online but also frequently spoke in person at universities and public venues.
• He directly called on young people to return to God, rebuilding faith as the foundation of life and society.
• Through Turning Point USA, he translated ideas into organization and action, mobilizing large numbers of youth.

For the CCP, this influence strikes at the core of its infiltration strategy:

• If America’s younger generation awakens in faith and stands firm, decades of CCP infiltration, propaganda, and social division would collapse.
• This is not only a political threat but also a spiritual one. The CCP especially fears genuine faith, which is among the key reasons it fears—and seeks to undermine—the United States.

Therefore, Charlie Kirk’s assassination was not a random extremist act, but a strike at the very threat the CCP fears most: the spiritual revival of America’s younger generation.

Conclusion and Warning

• Factual dimension: Evidence shows AQSLC intersects with Singham’s funding network, itself tied to CCP-linked influence operations.
• Narrative dimension: Foreign adversaries, including the CCP, have exploited Kirk’s assassination to amplify divisive discourse.
• Spiritual dimension: The case is a wake-up call to America: the ultimate struggle is not only political but one of faith and truth.
