His departure is believed to be linked to US sanctions imposed on his venture capital fund, Miracle Plus, on October 19. The sanctions were issued due to Miracle Plus's investment in Shanghai Zhisuan Technology, which allegedly stole business secrets from Google. The US government has imposed asset freezes, business restrictions, and investment bans on Miracle Plus and related entities.",
