What happened
Major Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan, have been raising billions of dollars for Chinese companies building domestic AI and semiconductor industries. These banks acted as bookrunners on 19 Chinese high-tech equity deals worth $17.2 billion this year. For example, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup coordinated a $6.8 billion Hong Kong share offering for Zhongji Innolight, a manufacturer of optical transceivers used in AI data centers.
