As you can see the trend nowadays, the amount of funds collected by PEF is increasing, but the number of the projects that can be invested is decreasing.
Still, some investors in China feel sorry for that there are a number of companies and projects.

Listing IPO
The stock market is the symbol of capitalism, and listing a company (IPO) is the dream of many entrepreneurs.
Korea’s stock market allows listings from foreign enterprises. As of 2016, 8 Chinese companies were listed in the Korean stock market.
At an average raised funds of 300 to 500 million KRW, or 266 thousand to 443 thousand USD, it is far smaller than the amount in Chinese stock markets. However, the listing application period is shorter, the requirements are lower, and market activity rates are higher in Korea, so companies tired of waiting around in Chinese stock markets have begun to show growing interest in Korean IPOs.
※ Companies should be aware that Korean stock markets permit BVI structure but do not permit VIE structure
