West shouldn’t misinterpret or overstate Beijing’s new tech regulations, ex-Google China exec says

The former president of Google China warned that the West should be careful not to overstate or misinterpret the recently introduced regulations by Beijing that have hurt the likes of AlibabaTencent and Didi.

Kai-Fu Lee, who now invests in Chinese start-ups through his venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures, told CNBC Tuesday that China is merely regulating a handful of large internet companies to ensure their significant market position doesn’t hurt consumers.
