Speed Bumps
China venture investing is encountering some bumps in the

Chinese companies in the U.S. are off, and investor
confidence is shaken in the wake of accounting scandals

a rising middle class population and fast-scaling Chinese
startups riding on the country's quick economic growth
are all positive drivers. Another plus: money can be made in
China venture, and in some cases, more than in the U.S.
