Here are five people in the tech space in China who are making waves with their innovations, be it in healthcare, economics or retail
Last year 336 Chinese tech startups were forced to close, partly as a result of what the Financial Times has dubbed an advancing "capital winter." The failed startups had raised a total of US$2.5 billion, and included several unicorn companies among their ranks.
"The closures come as tech companies in China face an advancing... funding shortage that began last year as investors grappled with a slowing economy and the end of a venture capital boom," reports the FT.
But not all Chinese startups are feeling the chill of the capital winter. Here are five tech entrepreneurs in China whose innovations are changing the way we live, from how we identify autism in children to improving the lives of elderly people.
