I spent the past few days travelling with a Chinese girl who is pretty interested in the internet and SEO stuff. She’s really interested in what I’m doing and spent a lot of time asking me questions about my websites.
It was really interesring for me to be able to get a glimpse into the world of the internet in China. She was amazed that people buy so many things online, especially things like insurance. She said her boyfriend had had an idea to set up a car rental website because, at the moment, nothing like this exists in China. She also told me that most websites are very commercial and that information sites with advertising don’t really seem to exist.
She seemed pretty switched on about the internet so I think she knows what she’s talking about. It’s an exciting thing to think that the Chinese internet market might not be at the same stage as the Western world. If China is a bit behind, think of all of the opportunities there must be out there!
It’s exciting stuff but if, in fact, the net in China still has lots of room for development, I think gtting on board soon will make a lot of people a lot of money. Does anyone know anything about the state of the internet in China? Are there still opportunities here that us web marketers could only dream of having in the West?
I think it’s worth investigating so any of you out there with internet savvy Chinese friends might want to start looking for partners.
