Why China Deep Tech

Geopolitical headwinds have created a historic valuation gap — leading Chinese tech companies trade at 2×–9× discounts to Western peers. The Western VC exodus left a vacuum. We fill it.

A Different Kind of AI Play

In 2026, the five largest US cloud providers committed $660–690B in AI capital expenditure. China’s approach is fundamentally different: rather than competing on raw scale, Chinese companies prioritise model efficiency and product commercialisation, investing $125B to build AI products that sell globally.


Chinese AI models achieve 90% of US frontier performance at 18% of the cost. DeepSeek cut API prices by 62% in late 2025, making China’s AI pricing the world’s lowest. And 67% of Chinese industrial firms deploy AI in production versus 34% in the US.

A Historic Valuation Gap

Leading Chinese tech companies trade at 2×–9× discounts to Western peers. The MSCI China Index sits at a forward P/E of ~14.6× versus the S&P 500 at ~22× — a 34% discount despite comparable or superior revenue growth of 15–30% annually.


Cross-border VC funding has declined over 70% since 2021 as Western firms retreated, compressing entry valuations. For investors with local networks and on-the-ground access, the result is better pricing, less competition, and a pipeline of globally competitive companies at historically attractive multiples.

China invests $125B to build AI products that sell globally, achieving 90% of US performance at 18% of the cost. Leading Chinese tech trades at 2×–9× discounts to Western peers.
