I know this may sound flip, but as far as innovation goes the Chinese* have not invented anything since gunpowder. Of course SV, is much more than just innovation: it's access to financing and technical and sales talent. Along these dimensions, Beijing may represent a competitive threat. *only those based in China. Chinese people freed from strictures of autocracy, colonialism, communism, and kleptocracy have made great innovations.
