PALO ALTO, Calif., July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the prestigious media platform Caijing Magazine officially unveiled its 'Top 50 Global Chinese Venture Capitalists' list. Wei Zhou, Founding Managing Partner of Cyber Creation Ventures (CCV), earned a coveted spot on the list thanks to his exceptional investment achievements, global vision, and profound influence in the global venture capital ecosystem.
This recognition further cements Wei's status as a leading figure not only in the venture capital industry but also within the global Chinese business community. Last year, he was named among Forbes' 'Top 100 Most Influential Global Chinese,' a testament to his far-reaching contributions and leadership in shaping the future of innovation and entrepreneurship. His inclusion in Caijing Magazine's prestigious list this year once again underscores his vital role in driving global technological transformation and fostering cross-cultural collaboration.
In its announcement, Caijing Magazine remarked: 'Within the global venture capital landscape, Chinese venture capitalists are redefining the flow of capital with their unique cross-cultural advantages and keen sense of innovation. Over the past three decades, these investors have skillfully navigated the complex waves of global capital, identifying critical signals of technological transformation. The groundbreaking applications and companies they have nurtured represent not only substantial returns but also a powerful value proposition from the global Chinese venture capital community to the world. From Silicon Valley to China, and from China to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and back to Silicon Valley, they have both shaped and exported the 'China model,' playing a pivotal role in global technological and business revolutions. The influence of Chinese venture capitalists on the global stage is undeniable.'
Wei has long been a champion of globalization in the investment community. Against the backdrop of de-globalization, he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of companies maintaining a global strategy to avoid the pitfalls of insular competition. He has proposed a new model of 'Distributed Globalization 2.0,' encouraging entrepreneurs to leverage the advantages accumulated over the past 40 years and, with the ingenuity and adaptability of the Chinese people, write a new chapter in globalization.
Wei believes that 'Distributed Globalization 2.0' is the optimal strategy for navigating today's evolving environment. This model harnesses China's strengths in resources, talent, supply chains, and technology while integrating with local markets, cultures, and regulations to create a distributed system of collaboration that benefits from the comprehensive advantages of a shared platform. He identifies two key breakthrough directions for this model: intelligence and sustainability.
He stated: 'Today may mark the beginning of a new era. At this critical juncture, both Chinese companies and individuals must break out of the confines of intense domestic competition and embrace the era of Globalization 2.0. By stepping out into the world and adopting new entrepreneurial models that emphasize distribution and localization, we can create new value. In this age of de-globalization, leveraging the many advantages China has built over the past four decades, and with the intelligence and flexibility of the Chinese people, we can achieve a 2.0 version of globalization. I believe this represents a massive opportunity for the next generation of Chinese entrepreneurs and young people.'
Looking ahead, CCV will continue to partner with outstanding entrepreneurs worldwide to ignite the sparks of technological and industrial innovation, reshaping the global business landscape. The CCV team will also capitalize on the global resources accumulated from managing top-tier international venture capital funds and its current global footprint to provide robust support for Chinese teams entering the era of Global Entrepreneurship 2.0. Together, they aim to create transformative companies and applications that improve lives and redefine industries on a global scale.
Wei's repeated recognition by global platforms such as Forbes and Caijing Magazine highlights not only his influence in the venture capital world but also his unique role in bridging cultures, fostering innovation, and driving the global success of the Chinese entrepreneurial community. His leadership exemplifies the growing impact of global Chinese leaders in shaping the future of technology, business, and society.
