Private equity firm Blue Ridge is moving into China in a big way. The company has developed a China-focused fund that is about twice the size of what JP Morgan is commiting at the moment to the whole of Asia. The Blue Ridge fund will have $1.45 billion to invest in China, according to reuters.

Blue Ridge, which has invested in more than $7.5 billion worth of assets globally. The new fund will target e energy, retail, real estate, technology and consumer products sectors of China's economy.
