China Outlook 2022

Last year China tech was battered by Covid and regulatory crackdowns. We’ll look at what’s coming next. What are U.S. and other investors thinking about Chinese startups and how can they get returns as the path to an overseas listing gets tougher? Could there be even more crackdowns on tech coming in China in a politically sensitive year? What’s the next TikTok or DJI to come out of China and take over the world?
