For example, Chinese chipmakers, integrated circuit design firms and other semiconductor industry startups received $8.8 billion in investment last year, compared with $1.3 billion for their U.S. counterparts, according to Preqin. While U.S. President Joe Biden is working to elevate the U.S. chip industry, Chinese chip startups are more sought after.<br \/>\nYong Luo, a former Intel engineer, has already completed financing for his new chip company, but it could be two years before he gets paid. &#8220;The Chinese market is very hot right now, and the chip industry is really hot,&#8221; he said.<br \/>\nAlicia Garc\u00eda-Herrero, an economist at investment bank Natixis in Hong Kong, said: \u201cChina is very aware of the importance of innovation for the future, especially in buffering the impact of aging and excessive capital accumulation on economic growth.
