Abstract

A report published by the Asia Society and Rhodium Group finds that Chinese investment is increasingly targeting U.S. high tech sectors. Annual investment has topped $1 billion since 2010, and 2014 is poised to be a breakthrough year, with transactions of over $6 billion announced in the first quarter. The report, entitled High Tech: The Next Wave of Chinese Investment in America, presents original data to accurately describe these new flows and analyzes their impacts on the U.S. economy, offering new data and common ground for what has become an increasingly acrimonious debate.
