U.S. Lawmakers Accuse VC Firms of Funding Chinese Military-linked Firms

Sequoia Capital China, Qualcomm Ventures and three other venture capital firms plowed at least $3 billion into Chinese tech companies that support Beijing's military and its repression of minorities in Xinjiang, a U.S. congressional report alleged on Thursday.

Reuters could not reach the venture capital firms for comment.
