While I'm not onboard the China-bad train, this surely looks bad from US'es national security perspective:

In the years since, Walden has deepened its investment focus on China: from 2017-2020, the company made at least 25 investments in Chinese chip companies, "accounting for more than 40% of the Chinese semiconductor deals involving U.S. venture investors during that period"[14] while Tan, through Walden, "has invested in hundreds of Chinese tech firms, including at least eight with links to the People's Liberation Army."[15]

From wiki.

Of course Intel's major shareholders wouldn't be worried by that as they are mainly concerned with maximizing profit this quarter or next.

But also Trump suggested a foreign firm taking over Intel. One with head office and facilities a short range missle away from China. 🤭

What a shit show.

Yea this is pretty damning. I'm not sure what the legal definition of treason is but it sure feels like it or at least adjacent. It's absurd that this guy can commit these crimes and then hop to a different company with absolutely no repurcussions. The American jucidiary is a mess.
