Being one of the world's largest companies with deep pockets, Intel invests in hundreds of startups around the world in a bid to foster the growth of companies in emerging and established domains and strengthen the high-tech ecosystem and supply chain. Intel Capital holds stakes in 43 Chinese technology startups and has invested in more than 120 since its inception in the early 1990s, reports the Financial Times. As a result, the company not only owns stakes in tens of China-based companies but also in startups that pose concerns for the U.S. government, including those working in AI and semiconductor realms.
