As the list goes on, individual names become unimportant. What is of importance is the irrefutable fact that cross-border acquisitions emanating from Greater China have grown of late, not only in stature, as the above can attest to, but also in scope and breadth. The stature of deal-making in this particular market has certainly increased over time. In 2005, less than one-out-of-five (19 percent) transactions were valued at more than US$250m. Over the first six months of 2011, this proportion rose to 27 percent, with the market's growing maturity also evident from a global standpoint.
