The House of Representatives’ select committee on China, led by Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher, released the report, which also scrutinizes investments made by GGV Capital, GSR Ventures and Walden International in Chinese artificial intelligence and semiconductor firms with unsavory ties.
Reuters could not immediately reach the venture capital firms for comment.
The Committee called on the Biden administration to restrict U.S. investment in Chinese firms sanctioned by the U.S. government over ties to China’s military or it repression of minorities and urged it to bolster recent U.S. curbs on U.S. investment in China to include more sectors.
“The status quo is untenable… Decades of investment-including funding, knowledge transfer, and other intangible benefits-from U.S. VCs have helped build and strengthen the PRC’s (People’s Republic of China) priority sectors,” the report said.
The White House and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
