  • China to Restrict U.S. Investment in Top Tech Firms Including AI Startups
    April 25, 2026, 6:04 PM EDT. China plans to limit U.S. capital inflows into its leading technology companies, including prominent AI startups like Moonshot AI and StepFun, according to Bloomberg. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has instructed certain private tech firms to refuse U.S. investment without prior government approval. This move also targets ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, restricting secondary share sales to American investors. The measures aim to block U.S. investors from acquiring stakes in technologies tied to China's national security, reflecting Beijing's tighter control over foreign investments in sensitive sectors. Key players like NDRC, ByteDance, and Moonshot AI have yet to respond to requests for comment.
