In the West SMEs would usually welcome it, but in China they would rather pass on a so-so family business to the next generation than receive capital. With the few quality investment options China offers, I don't blame them. It will take years of educating the owners of SMEs about the benefits of acquisition and the risks they take if they don't sell before acquisitions move beyond the Coke-Huiyan level.
