Delphi Ventures co-founder José Maria Macedo recently shared his observations after an in-depth two-week visit to China’s AI ecosystem. During his trip, he met extensively with the founders in China’s AI space, venture capital firms, and CEOs of public companies. He set out with fairly optimistic expectations, believing that China not only has world-class AI talent, but that valuations still offer a clear discount compared with Western markets. However, after actually visiting, his assessment shifted to a more complex conclusion: compared with before the trip, he is more optimistic about China’s hardware strength but more cautious about the outlook for software. At the same time, he also revised his understanding of the characteristics of China’s entrepreneurs.

In the grand narrative of the rapid evolution of global fintech and Web3 today, the East and West are demonstrating fundamentally different underlying logics. While Western crypto narratives mainly focus on scalability of public chains (such as Layer 2 solutions and modular blockchains) and asset securitization through spot ETFs, China is forging a "hardcore" path centered on national-level digital infrastructure, emphasizing large-scale on-chain integration of real economy and real-world assets (RWA).
