U.S. received $200B in Chinese state loans via shell firms, fueling acquisitions in sensitive tech sectors, despite warnings to others.
A new AidData report says the U.S. unknowingly became the largest recipient of Chinese state-bank lending, taking in about $200 billion over 25 years—much of it funneled through offshore shell companies.
The money often supported Chinese firms buying stakes in U.S. tech sectors like semiconductors, robotics, and biotech, raising security concerns.
China’s global lending from 2000–2023 totaled over $2 trillion, far higher than earlier estimates.
