US Venture Capital Firms Invest Over $3 Billion in Chinese AI and Military Tech

A bipartisan House committee report highlights the strategic and human rights concerns of U.S. investments in China's tech sector.

Five U.S. venture capital firms have invested more than $3 billion in Chinese companies linked to AI, military, and surveillance technologies.
The investments have supported China's military modernization and contributed to human rights abuses, including the persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
The House Select Committee on Strategic Competition calls for immediate restrictions on U.S. investments in entities tied to the Chinese military or human rights abuses.
Some U.S. firms have begun divesting from certain investments, but concerns remain about ongoing financial ties to China's tech sector.
The report's findings fuel bipartisan efforts to tighten restrictions on U.S. outbound investments in critical and emerging Chinese technologies.
