One of the most striking things I’ve noticed this year is how China’s startup ecosystem seems to have cooled down over the past 5 years.

It feels like they’re deprioritizing innovative startups in favor of larger companies. If this continues, I worry that China might lose its status as a serious economic player in the next couple of decades, with growth migrating to countries that are literally hungry for innovation.

Take India, for example.

With an average population age of 27 and low production costs, it’s ramping up infrastructure projects like roads, railways, and distribution centers. There’s significant capital flowing into agriculture and waste management. It seems poised to become a major player in the global economy.

Africa is also catching my attention. I’ve noticed a lot of investment pouring into the continent’s logistics and infrastructure, including significant funding from China itself.

But circling back to China, I’ve heard that VCs are spending more time suing the startups they’ve invested in to get their money back. Founders are now burdened with personal liability for their company’s debts. This might promote accountability but innovation stifles under pressure.
