International private equity firms are stepping up their efforts to invest in China in the next few years, reflecting a gold rush mentality that could result in high-stakes risks for some investors.   Private equity funds with good connections and experience in the region account for the bulk of recent investments; but some new entrants have relatively untested China investment teams. The influx of new money reflects the pulling power of the "China story," which suggests that there are opportunities that investors cannot afford to miss.

HuaYuan and ASVC have put together a distinguished panel of experts to provide insights into the daunting challenges - and meaningful potential rewards - of the China private equity market:
