The Trump administration’s new policy aimed at restricting China’s access to the American innovations has almost stopped Chinese investment in American technology start-ups. The fact is that both investors and founders of start-ups refuse to make deals because of close attention from Washington.

According to Rhodium Group, a New York-based research firm, Chinese venture capital funding for the US start-ups reached a record of USD $3 billion driven by an influx of investors and technology companies searching for the deals’ completion before the new regulatory regime approved in August comes into effect.
