Chinese Entrepreneurs....British Comics?

I was asked by someone, in person rather than online, whether I had been serious when I wrote a post about British comics could be published by Chinese or Indian businessmen?

Well, of course I was. After I first posted that both India and China had the growing economies and infrastructure that could handle a new wave of comics in the UK I had two Indian publishers get in touch. Nothing after that.  India has not shown that it is interested in expanding beyond its borders when it comes to comics publishing so after a good few years I think they can be rules out.

That leaves China. Either an existing company or an entrepreneur looking to set up in the UK. When you look at all the data and facts it is quite clear (US companies seem bent on destroying their own industry at the moment) that the only country with the facilities and businessmen willing to invest is China (seemingly, according top news today, they may have saved British Steel).

If you are passionate about comics then you want to see them making their way to comic fans. Cinebook the 9th Art moved into the UK market and has not looked back.

It's just a queastion of finding that comics interested entrepreneur!
