SiliconBeat: Sequoia to invest in China?

Matt Marshall writes in SiliconBeat:

Sequoia Capital, the well-known Silicon Valley venture capital that backed Cisco, Yahoo, Google and others, has reportedly raised a $200 million China fund -- a significant development for the firm that has long focused mainly on the U.S. and whose former leader has publicly dismissed China as being in the midst of a huge bubble.

Sorry, no English language translation as yet. Sequoia held a meeting with...

...its investors in NY on Tuesday.
