Employment by Chinese-owned firms in the U.S. has jumped ninefold since 2009 to 140,000 jobs while China’s investment in the country tripled to a record last year.

That’s according to a Rhodium Group analysis released Tuesday jointly with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. Chinese investment flowed for the first time into 63 congressional districts last year to expand its presence to all but 10 of 435, the report said.
