State-backed funds in China are focusing on developing “patient capital” to strengthen technological self-reliance. This capital aims for long-term returns rather than quick profits. The government is looking to nurture State-owned enterprises’ funds and government investment funds to act as patient capital. Measures include improving fund performance evaluation, relaxing fund size limits, and encouraging insurance companies to invest more in VC funds. China is also supporting the VC sector through facilitating mergers and acquisitions, piloting return distribution to VC investors, and ensuring smooth channels for overseas listings.
