Keep Your Eye on China...

By now everyone should know the importance that China, and the Asia Pacific market in general is going to play in the future of technology. They already play a significant role, but will continue to play an ever larger one. In the infancy of this site, I've already posted about China here, and here.

But this is really interesting... Check out this new blog, Silicon Beat. The guys behind the blog are Silicon Valley Venture Capital insiders that write for the San Jose Mercury News. The interesting thing is how often China comes up on the radar. There are VCs in Silicon Valley investing in Chinese companies, there are Chinese VCs in Silicon Valley learning about our innovations, and making them work in China, or making them better. Spend some time on the site, it's a great read.

One of the interesting posts is about 51Job, which is a Chinese site that's essentially the Monster.com of China.  And guess what, they're backed by a Silicon Valley VC firm...

I can see that I'll be posting even more about China than I initially thought.
