However, China makes up for this in deficit in other ways, such as the wealth of government-supported incubators for new technologies. Many local governments in China have a lot of cash, and they want to put it to work.

This form of investment is generally easier to get into but is harder to get results from. There are high risks in companies potentially crashing and causing you severe losses. The best tip while doing this sort of investment is to simply do some research. Ask around for consultants and see what they say. Do not simply call the company and ask them to do an introduction. While this is possibly one of the most vital things to do, you need to do other things too.
