2. **Previous Investments**: QIA has made several other investments in Chinese companies, including a $200 million investment in Kingdee International Software Group in December 2023. This investment is part of QIA's strategy to reduce reliance on the US and strengthen links with China, a move that can bring mutual openness and diversify China's trade partners.
3. **QIA's Global Investment Strategy**: QIA's investment strategy is guided by a top-down portfolio asset allocation process, aiming to meet long-term return objectives while considering risk and liquidity limits. The fund has investments in various sectors, including technology, media, and telecommunications, healthcare, and retail.
These investments reflect QIA's broader strategy to diversify its portfolio and strengthen economic ties with China, contributing to Qatar's goal of reducing reliance on the US and enhancing its international influence.
