Qatar’s Wealth Fund Stays Active in China Despite US Concerns

Qatar’s $524 billion sovereign wealth fund is continuing to explore investment opportunities in China, even as geopolitical tensions push global investors to tread carefully.

The Qatar Investment Authority is “actively looking at investments in China” but is taking steps to “avoid situations that potentially jeopardize relations with the US,” said Mohammed Al-Hardan, head of technology, media and telecommunications. “We can’t discount China. It is a very significant market,” he said at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Thursday.
