In the Emerging Markets Private Equity newsletter, there's an excellent overview and report on China's private equity market. The editor writes, " the dynamics of China's private equity market are also blurring the lines between the traditional VC and buyout segments." CVN concurs with them. This development is also a part of the gradual evolutionary shift in the overall positive policy changes towards venture capital. Here are a few recent deals:

Sequoia Capital China has invested $1.5 million in Discuz, a China based software design firm. Additionally, the firm invested in the Chinese insurance broker Zhonghe for an undisclosed amount. Also, Warburg Pincus and its Chinese partners finalized a buyout transaction by taking a 98% stake in Shandong Deosen Corporation
for a value exceeding $10 million. This is the first buyout for Warburg Pincus in China and probably not the last.
