HONG KONG -- The Pentagon's addition of a Beijing-headquartered private equity and venture capital firm to a list of companies with alleged close ties to China's military underscores growing sanctions risks for the industry and is likely to result in pressure for more investment self-scrutiny, analysts say
In an updated Department of Defense (DOD) list of entities identified as "Chinese military companies" operating in the U.S., IDG Capital Partners is among 17 newly added names. They are seen as helping to support the "modernization goals" of the Chinese military by "ensuring it can acquire advanced technologies and expertise" developed by Chinese companies, universities and research programs "that appear to be civilian entities," the Pentagon said on Jan. 31.
The list previously comprised only technology companies and manufacturers. IDG Capital Partners is the first private equity and venture capital specialist to appear on it, which by itself does not mean being directly sanctioned by the DOD.
"This is the first case that a major Chinese-headquartered investment firm is being added to a sanctions list by the U.S. government," said Wilson Zhao, a Hong Kong-based associate focusing on sanctions and export control at law firm Steptoe.
"With IDG's designation, investment firms, especially those headquartered in China, now need to worry not only about [their] portfolio companies being sanctioned, but also [whether] they could be sanctioned as a result of investing in or co-investing with certain companies," Zhao said.

Locals tell me that there was a mass layoff of ranch employees one week beforehand (when Chao’s husband’s VC JV IDG Capital was officially designated a
‘Chinese military operation’ by the U.S. Dept of Defense (DOD). https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/US-China-tensions/China-private-investment-firms-face-growing-U.S.-scrutiny-analysts-say 4/8
Here’s wishing the dishonorable McConnell family of grifters and double-dealers nothing but hell.
Hopefully the Chinese can kill more of them - and Mitch dies angrily, slowly and in a great deal of pain.

And her Tesla launching Into the pond. The ranch is allegedly owned by Mitch McConnell and her sister Elaine Chao. The family had it ruled an ‘accidental’ death and had Chao’s car delivered back to the family immediately after the suspicious death. A blood test was taken 2/8

In fact, the most important titles of Angela Chao in 🇨🇳 is the Independent Director of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC),rather than the board member of Chinese banks.
CSSC is PLA-owned shipbuilder for 🇨🇳 military shipbuilding, including developing and manufacturing…

·I keep saying it, there is no such thing as a former #CCP member unless you consider the dead.
Any Chinese company is private only until the Chinese army has a reason for it not to be

CSSC is PLA-owned shipbuilder for 🇨🇳 military shipbuilding, including developing and manufacturing nuclear submarines for CCP.
For example, the nuclear submarine 093-417 which had an accident with over 50 deaths in the Yellow Sea last Aug, was made by CSSC’s factory in Huludao. So is North Korea’s first nuclear submarine No. 841 unveiled in 2023.
you can see the bodyguards keeping people away from Chao’s conversation. Here is the video. Looks like two spies

this video is from a Japanese ceremony. Can’t remember the name of it but something like an Emperor becoming Emperor.
THey clearly used it to talk business.
Yeah. That was at the Japanese Emperor coronation.
Chatted it up in Chinese for a long time.
I hadn’t heard McConnell owned the ranch. Interesting.
The media blackout on this speaks volumes.
Remember this was Chinese New Year. Like our Christmas.
Given that you aren’t seeing the address where this took place it is a good chance someone in family owns it. Saw one reference to johnson city.
There is a road and block address known.
I forget the name off the top of my head.
Thanks. I was wondering when there’d be a follow up article.
This is the address I was talking about.
100 block of Schneider Lane
The article is tacitly saying there’s a cover up or unusual behavior related to this case.
Which is obvious but no other media says anything.
A billionaire who has intimate connections at the highest levels with both the US and Chinese Communist governments dies under very unusual circumstances and the media has no interest in it and even reports fake news about it without retraction or correction.
In a Jan 31 updated list the Department of Defense cited companies “that appear to be civilian entities.”
