Hi Daniel,
thanks for your comments – yes, the internet is EXPLODING all over the world, china, usa, everywhere. I mean back in 2003 when I started looking into this more deeply I thought it was crazy, but now its EVERYWHERE, and EVERYONE is doing it, talking about it, realizing the internet is the future and how business is going to be done.

As far as my thoughts on Google in China….well I am trying to keep the government here from blocking this blog, but I will say this:

Baidu is headquartered in Beijing. The Chinese government is in Beijing……Baidu has to have close relations with government officials there. I would not be surprized if some whispers over some drinks were said about this Google porn spreading rumor….It would be great for Baidu if google was blocked in China….right….

I will leave it at that.

On the other hand, there is a problem occurs in the Internet, how to control the credit of internet transaction, Currently there is not rules and regulation to the Internet crime(I mean not only the hacker to do the harmful things) in China.

How do you see the recent event that google China was accused of containing the pornographic contents. I thought it’s a series of government activities to regulate the Internet(maybe is maken use of by its competitors). but it does cause trouble to me, because I am a royal googler. I used to search healthy material, haha…

Meanwhile you can see now more and more companies are focusing on and investing big money on the Internet marketing, that’s why B2B website in China is poplular.

Some friends back from US university told me that they feel future trends in the marketing is in the Internet. I do agree, even now the many technology is approaching the internet/IP.

SAY TOO FAR, SORRY.

Daniel

I am at an Internet Trade show in Shenzhen right now, and yes, there is a LOT more social websites opening in China. And there is more buying online within the younger generation.

I wonder though, the government does not seem happy about this, and seems to be blocking more and more. But the younger generation is a bit more rebellious and will find ways to continue to find more ways to share information online and do business online.

We’ll see, yes, the China e-commerce market is HOT now.

Frankly speaking, right now most business in China is owned by the people of 1950s-1970s, they received the traditional education, although they also get used to PC and mordern business, the habit is not easy to change(that’s why they just want to buy trangiable goods not invisable service). However, you will find that for the younger Chinese people, more and more are trying some E-business, credit card, etc, the consuming habit is getting closer to wester.

That is to say the E-business future in China is a promising field.

I deeply agree, Chinese like face, but I think it’s not for Chinese, right?

cheers
Mike

let me fly off at a tangent,one time when i talking about people with my friend Sam Moly,there have a joke from him” the white people trust white people,the black people trust black people, who do the chinese people trust? no one,only themself.” Yes,in a sense. However, when you know more about Chinese history and complex social environment, living environment, economic environment and human nature, you would think this is normal.

Honestly,we would like to trust others and we do,but finally,in every critical juncture, we will be disappionted,we found we only can trust ourself. This is a tragedy. Maybe everywhere not just in China. I do not say that our people do not worth to trust, just look at what specific…. God,i do not know what i am saying,mess.

thanks for agreeing – you don’t have to though…..but yes one thing I didn’t mention, that I think you will also agree with you

once they are your customer, they are usually loyal, right?

that’s business in china, challenges come with opportunities
