Rieschel's VC firm has bet on some of China's most promising tech champions!

Zhipu in AGI, Xiaomi in EV and smartphones, WeRide in self-driving, UBTech in humanoid robots, super app Meituan, ZaiLab and CanSino in biotech, and HyperStrong in energy storage.

With that track record, Rieschel rightly sounds off about how the U.S. underestimated China's ability to innovate.
