U.S. venture capital companies are exerting more pressure on tech start-ups to force them to decouple with China investors, because they expect U.S. government will tighten its control over foreign ownership.

According to multiple informed sources, generative artificial intelligence startup HeyGen which was founded in Shenzhen during pandemic and then was moved to LA required its China investors, including IDG Capital, Baidu Ventures, Sequoia Capital's former China subsidiary HongShan and Zhenfund to sell their equity to U.S. investors.

This is absolutely the reflection of this kind of adverse situation, that is China venture capital is being squeezed by U.S. government.
