The focus areas of the report are: China as an online leader, China Insider – the competitive landscape in Search, IM & Web 2.0, and Business in Online China. All these areas are essentially the most vital indicators of the ongoing development of Chinese Internet market.
Key Points of the report are:
-
China is the largest market for Internet users (253 MM as of June 2008) despite the fact that only 19.1% of the country’s population is online.The rapid growth in Internet usage can be estimated from the fact that around half of Top 20 trafficked Asia Pacific sites are in China.
