Dollar funding for Chinese start-ups dries up
流向中国初创企业的美元投资大幅减少
The country’s newest crop of technology companies is more likely to list at home rather than in the US.
对中国初创企业的美元投资去年下降近四分之三，占这类企业总资本的比例降至19%，主因是地缘政治紧张和筹集人民币资金相对更具吸引力。

Chinese investors and founders say geopolitical tensions with the US, as well as Beijing’s tech crackdown and harsh zero-Covid policy spooked foreign investors. At the same time, growing support from the Chinese government and Washington’s sanctions also made raising Renminbi more appealing.
中国投资者和创业者表示，中美之间的地缘政治紧张，加上北京方面整顿科技行业的努力和此前严厉的“清零”防疫政策，都使外国投资者却步。与此同时，中国政府的支持力度日益加强，而华盛顿方面不断出台制裁，也使筹集人民币资金更具吸引力。
