"Investment from China into Silicon Valley, excluding real estate, topped $6 BILLION by the end of the first half of 2016, with more than half of that spending taking place in the past 18 months, according to the Rhodium Group research firm. Investors have been spurred by China’s growing wealth over the past decade and a government push to develop innovative technologies — particularly in areas such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, where China still lags."

The United States accelerates it's asset sell off to a communist enemy nation. China is getting it's hooks into cutting edge Artifical Intelligence technology by funding US Silicon Valley Start-up corporations. It's very unlikely the US State Dept is seriously reviewing China's influence in Silicon Valley technology for potential threats to future US security. In addition, China's spending Billions in CA props up its superheated unsustainable real estate bubble.

The question is what kind of investment is going on. Chinese institutions will invest to gain access to information and technology. Chinese individuals are investing to secure assets beyond the reach of the Chinese government.
