IT market and social software in China

Email This Entry

Posted by Xiao Qiang

Thanks for Ross' invitation for being a guest blogger here. I will start with sharing two news items I have found today. The first one is an Chinese official from the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) was quoted saying "in 2004, China would likely turn out 48 million computers, a rise of 29 percent over last year. The figure is expected to reach 90 million in 2008. " If the official is right, then China is going to be world's largest IT market in 5 years.

This is number of computers in China. What about social software? CNblog.org is a very active group weblog in Chinese cyberspace, discussing weblogs, wiki, social networking services etc... According to bloggers on CNblog, China now has more than 300,000 active bloggers. I also noticed an interesting news about a local Communist Party branch website just added on RSS function. These technologies are spreading fast in Chinese cyberspace today.
