Comments for China Private Equity http://www.chinafirstcapital.com/blog The Trends, Opportunities, Deals, Chinese Companies on Path to IPO and Private Equity Investment, from China First Capital Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:23:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 Comment on Is Huawei a Paper Tiger? by Simon Ng http://www.chinafirstcapital.com/blog/archives/3771/comment-page-1#comment-7727 Simon Ng Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:23:54 +0000 http://www.chinafirstcapital.com/blog/?p=3771#comment-7727 It is very clever to distill the information from Huawai's investment arms. Comparing with Sanyi who just bought the German Cement-Pump Maker Putzmeister with Citi Huawei be studying with care. Although they are 2 totally different companies in background, industry and status, Hauwei can learn quite a few frow the Sanyi business model. I am sure Huawei has plans for spinning off part of its company going public which will lead to a high disclosure of that part of the business.

A few of my female business associates are logical, reasonable and sympathetic. Sometimes I am impressed by the way they balance their business and their families. Not everyone of them is 'iron lady' or remotely resemble similar traits. Often time when it comes to making important decisions and practical realities, they are the ones who come up with pragmatic and face-saving solutions for the situation. Regardless how much chauvinistic fundamentals her males associates would have, Chinese men simple bite the bullet. And that makes China grows the fastest in the last 30 yrs comparing other nations.

The JV I started in China in the 90's ended up with a female GM, and half the other managers and engineers were women. In a country where Americans wince at ads which specify gender and age qualifications, women really do have an opportunity to put their talents to use. BTW, yours is the only blog about China I read consistently. Every post is insightful and goes beyond the superficial look most of us Westerners get of China business.

Agree that in China free newspapers resonate more with riders and people in general than in the west. Thanks for the information it was interesting.

The most logical and common relisting destination would be Hong Kong. The problem companies face while trying to list in HK, as compared to listing in say Nasdaq, would be a more stringent process and set of requirements in general, especially profits test and size test that many young technology companies would fail to pass.

Being a Malaysian of Chinese ethnicity, I have to say that I felt a little lost when I was first posted here by my previous employer. Maybe it was my age and my relatively lack of experience in real world, having landed here to set up a WOFE when I was in my early 20's. Anyways, back to your article. I just want to send my warmest compliment to you for writing this article. The contents is parallel to my own experience, though the industries we both are in are different. Nevertheless, the operating environment here in China shares similar traits and values. I strongly believe this article of yours must be an essential read for all people wanting to conduct business in China, especially for the long term. Cheers! Dear Sir,
