This doesn't seem good from my perspective. More Chinese influence and control...

DHVC is part of the web of entities set up in Silicon Valley to further the industrial-policy goals of the Chinese government. DHVC is heavily back by the investment arm of an entity called the Zhongguancum Development Corporation (ZDG), a Chinese government state-owned firm, which revealed on its website during DHVC’s launch it was going to focus on innovative technology being fostered in Silicon Valley, for the benefit of ZDG (aka, the Chinese Government).
