I wonder if most people invest in China with the hopes of making money on their exports to other countries, or if they plan to take advantage what I've heard is their growing appetite and disposable income for Western style products?

I'd be looking for as much information like this as I could find before I invested in China. I'd also be curious about how quickly the current investment regulations could be expected to change there in the future.

To be gin with it was really hard work, especially the language barrier, but as the years have passed things have really moved on to the extent that now I'm as comfotable working with them as I am with my own countrymen

China is the third largest economy in the world. It's made a lot of progresses and economic reforms. Its status on the world stage will only continue to grow.

Yep. Like John said, anti-dilution provisions “shouldn’t be too onerous or they may deter future investors.” Otherwise, the start-up you invested in might have a hard time finding later round investors to take the business further. You might also have a hard time cashing out on your investment.

Twenty years ago no one would ever think of investing in Shanghai…Majority of investors don't even know where Shanghai is. Now everything there seems to be in place.
