Friends of Socialist China is a pro-CCP propaganda platform co-edited by Keith Bennett, Danny Haiphong, and Carlos Martinez (Rule). It began posting around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic and was an amplifier in creating the narrative of the “lab-leak being a racist trope”.

The organization is being investigated by The Xibao Times in the Operation CODEPINK campaign.
