US venture firm GGV Capital to separate China business amid geopolitical tension
Economic Times

Medial
US venture capital firm GGV Capital is planning to split its business into two entities, with one focusing on Asia and the other on the US. This move comes in response to political pressure on American companies to limit investments in Chinese technology. GGV Capital, which manages around $9 billion in assets, has been under review by a US congressional committee investigating American firms' funding of Chinese tech companies. The separation is expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year. China-focused firms have seen a sharp decline in funding this year compared to 2020.

Granite Asia will focus on startups in China, Japan, South Asia, Australia, and Southeast Asia, while Notable Capital plans to invest in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.
