The transition China has made from a low-tech developing country to a cutting-edge technological power is inspiring. The nation prioritizes technology development as a strategic goal, and the government channels massive investments into becoming a world leader with state of the art tech hubs. China’s most prominent unicorns are focused on automation and AI, along with a strong Hardware & IoT presence in the impressive Shenzhen startup ecosystem. ==read-more==
 However, China has made a clear decision not to open its ecosystems globally. The majority of China's startups are focused only on China’s economy, and therefore have a limited footprint. Chinese tech users are also isolated from the global Internet by the great firewall which regulates online traffic in China. Given the sheer size of the country’s economy, Chinese ecosystems were still able to achieve impressive growth and create an extraordinary number of startups and unicorns. Much of the growth potential of Chinese ecosystems has been realized, and the current inward trend limits the ability of China’s startup ecosystem to pursue other tech markets and achieve global leadership status. 
 Another critical challenge for China is managing friction between its successful founders and the state. Unlike in the West, where tech leaders have a free hand in achieving celebrity status and working on projects like sending spaceships to other planets, becoming a Chinese entrepreneur can come with restrictions and risks. The implications of recent friction between the Chinese government and its most notable entrepreneurs, exemplified in the ANT Group’s failed IPO and Didi’s crackdown will leave a lasting mark on the ecosystem, regardless of current positive efforts from the government to backtrack and fix them. 
 Multiple Chinese corporations are successful players in the global consumer market, with Alibaba, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Tencent leading the way. TikTok, a popular B2C application, has also taken the world by storm, although restrictions imposed on some of these tech giants by Western economies have put pressure on them and limited their growth. 
 It’s understandable why Chinese entrepreneurs choose to focus locally, considering the massive size of the national market and the geopolitical difficulties in expanding globally. However, in order to truly fulfill its startup ecosystem potential, China needs to aim internationally in the medium to long term.
