I'm also interested as I'm comparing technology/innovation policies from around the world, esp wrt China and SEAsia. For example, I've found Singapore to be the most financially aggressive in govt startup funds (4:1 contribution) whereas china tends to be more provincial based (selected rebates ... their financial aid tends to have a lot of "strings" attached). If there's anything offlist about experiences or rants/raves, please email me privately for off-record observations.
