This is how bad China’s startup scene looks now

The Chinese startup scene has dramatically declined since 2018 due to several factors: the pandemic, a real estate bubble burst, US-China tensions, and a government crackdown on tech companies.

Venture capitalists and private equity executives who fueled the earlier boom are now described as "depressed" and less visible.
