China's Private Sector Suffers Under Xi Jinping's Policies
- BioBay, a science park in Suzhou, is nearly deserted with many biotech start-ups having moved out or closed down.
- The venture capital industry in China has seen a dramatic decline, with start-ups founded dropping from 51,302 in 2018 to 1,202 in 2023.
- Political decisions by President Xi Jinping, including a crackdown on tech companies and anti-corruption measures, have stifled private business.
- VC firms are now focusing on lower-risk investments and demanding personal liability from founders, leading to fewer high-risk ventures.
- Many venture capitalists are looking overseas for opportunities as the domestic market continues to shrink.

This is a completely correct picture, even their biggies like Alibaba, Tencent etc have declined quite a bit. Some are contemplating a move of headquarters to Singapore. China's communist government is meddling with everything now. Even their real-estate sector crashed due to the government calling out for tough policy reforms on debt fueled growth.
