This is certainly exciting news for Carlyle, but Carlyle is yet to overcome obstacles including:
- This JV fund is a USD fund, so it is still subject to foreign exchange ragulations; it is indeed working on its rmb fund registered in Beijing
- potential conflicts between its rmb fund and China-focused USD funds
- potential conflicts with Fosun in terms of cultrual difference, management etc

Nice to see a positive piece on Chinese governance for once, even if the author did manage to avoid once using the word ‘communist.’ A bit like discussing the George Bush years without mentioning he headed a Republican administration.

Comment on The Billion-Dollar Product In Search of an Inventor by Joshua Smith

Although I mainly practice Project Management I am a mechanical engineer by trade (In fact I am back in university for my Masters in Mechanical Engineering in Tianjin) I bet you anything I could design a much better one without too much problem. In fact I could probably design 5 to 10 different ones. However that wouldn’t be the problem. In China it would be capitalizing on selling it. I can’t see how one can design a innovated commodity type item and then protect it from what the Chinese do – copy, mass produce, and sell on the gray market.
