"Venture capital finance has dried up amid political and economic pressures, prompting a dramatic fall in new company formation"

Posted in technology as most of the funded companies are into technology. The most shocking piece is arguably the number of funded company pear year with a clear peak in 2018 which is 50x (!) more than last year, 2023.

nonsense. you hear about a new sexy chinese company every day. just today I learned about Biren, which is taking on Nvdia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biren_Technology

This article is basically yet another Gordon Cheng. It's pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

Founded in 2019, right after the peak according to the very graph I highlighted.

Neither I nor the article is saying there are no more startups nor innovation from China. What the article is saying is that it's radically less than 7 years ago. You can still list few amazing Chinese startup from 2023 or 2024 and it would still not make the article "nonsense".
