“Greater China” is a term referring collectively to both the territories administered by the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau), and territories administered by the Republic of China (Taiwan and some neighboring islands). To foreigners, Greater China may seem like more or less a homogenous region, with people of seemingly common appearance, language (Mandarin or some variant of it), and culture. However, deep underlying differences exist between Taiwan and China. To give an example, while Confucian ethics and values are deeply ingrained in the Taiwanese mindset, such traditional values are almost non-existent under the mainland Chinese brand of social capitalism. Being able to understand and leverage these fine nuances in culture is a critical factor in successfully doing business in China. Indeed, in the fifteen years or so since Taiwanese VC’s have entered the Chinese market, they have gained valuable insight on the critical role that culture plays in originating successful deals. This paper will attempt to identify the best practices adopted by Taiwanese VC’s in successfully sourcing and landing VC deals in China.
