Chinese Investments in U.S. VC set to top $880M — a continuing National Security Issue for the Tech Sector
Sep 17, 2022
Chinese investments to Silicon Valley Venture funds are on pace to reach $880M this year, according to the Wall Street Journal.
This year is expected to be the second highest dollar amount invested in the last 12 years, and the actual amount of Chinese investment in U.S. venture capital may be higher than reported as many VCs don’t publicly disclose amounts invested by their limited partners.
China has invested some $4B in U.S. venture firms, and another $3.5 billion in U.S. private equity firms since 2010.
The U.S. government continues to be concerned Chinese investors may gain access to strategically important sectors like semiconductors and artificial intelligence.
