There are already a number of US venture capitalists looking at the Chinese market, such as Citigroup, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, H&Q, IDG, Morgan Stanley, the Carlyle Group and Newbridge, who could be potential co-investors in or acquirers of our projects." Portfolio Company Contract Win Asia Water Co. Ltd ("Asia Water"), a subsidiary of Capitalink Pte Ltd, the Chinese venture capital group in which London Asia took a stake in April 2004, has signed an agreement for the construction of a waste water treatment plant to service a new town of 600,000 people near Wuhan International Airport, China.
