The lack of new fund registrations indicates a potential tightening of capital deployment and a shift in the venture landscape, possibly favoring state-backed entities and impacting the growth of private tech and innovation in China.

Key facts

  • In June 2026, zero private equity or venture capital fund managers successfully registered with the Asset Management Association of China (AMAC).
