We have had the privilege this month to talk with Rui Ma, a Venture Partner who is helping young entrepreneurs reach Silicon Valley and transform a simple idea into a viable project. She likes to found teams that are endlessly curious, low-ego, truth-driven and action-oriented and generally do well and work well together. Students cooperating with her receive hands-on experience in investing that no class can ever teach, plus they can get an extra source of capital.

As our economy section has described, April witnessed a trade growth slowdown but there is no doubt that China trade environment continues to look strong.

We continue with the analysis of partnerships of China with other regions of the world and this month our Feature Story goes to European Union and China Partnership and Cooperation Agreement. It is very interesting to see that only Germany and Finland had a surplus in trading goods with China in 2015 and the rest of EU member states recorded a trade deficit.

Our column ‘In Depth’ this month is also very interesting wherein we highlight that the highly indebted corporate sector could become a major problem in China. With a total debt of almost 300% of GDP, a derail of state-owned banks could trigger a systematic crisis. Debt linkages between the government and real sector are especially of increasing concern. Although the overall debt-to-GDP ratio is not the highest in the world, the special relationship between state-owned companies and banks could ultimately create a deep crisis. The non-financial corporate sector is of special concern with an estimated debt-to-GDP ratio of over 150%.
