Over recent years, the term “lawfare” has gained recognition as a strategy where the legal system is used to achieve political objectives, regardless of the merits of the case. Environmental groups have been noted for employing this tactic aggressively. However, questions arise about who funds litigation that challenges energy companies’ operations. The U.S. Senate suspects that the People’s Republic of China might be involved in such funding.

Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center (CRC), was invited to testify at a Judiciary Subcommittee hearing titled “Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance.” In this session, Walter discussed his insights into lawfare funding.
