I always like international comparisons as a reality check on discussion of policy in the United States. Are countries without regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley enjoying a boom in entrepreneurial start-ups? Where?

Are you planning to invest in a lot of Chinese start-ups?

Don't underestimate the entrepreneurial spirit that is going on in China.

It's just political propaganda that China is oppressive and thwarts entrepreneurship. Sure there are some problems, but China's human rights issues are about on par with Gitmo.

You think not having SOX outweighs all the other hurdles associated with doing a startup in China? Like say, communism?
