China Web 2.0
A lot of young startups have been created in the last two years just as Silicon Valley experienced the second internet boom. According to a CNet article, the madness around web 2.0 in China in fact far exceeds anything we have seen in the United States.
Competition among these web 2.0 companies are also fierce. Pick any market, you could easily find a dozen companies that essentially have the same product and features. Nonetheless, such venture capitalists as KPCB or Sequoia are still pouring large amount of VC money into China internet companies.

For US investors, the good news is that most of young Chinese internet companies are freely traded on the Nasdaq stock market.
Most young web 2.0 companies in China are still private and many of them do not have large revenue to sustain them but that is an issue VC has to worry not us average stock investors.
