Question?
So are the Chinese ever able to get past the govenment control of the internet and get the real NEWS worldwide?
If so, how?

I would say “your site is too empty” is one of the two most common comments made by Chinese people about Western websites. The other is “it’s not colourful enough”.

Have the restrictions been hindering e-commerce? I would say it’s been poor payment systems and lack of trust that have slowed it down. In what way is censorship hindering e-commerce in China?

I would say that’s part true. Personally, I often find Chinese sites to be hard to use. That’s not very relevant though. If they (the Chinese people) find it hard to use, then it’s a problem and usually they don’t.

Now… the hardest thing is making a site that both Chinese people and foreigners like. It’s not uncommon to have a website loved by Chinese people and hated by Westerners or vice-versa.

What does English skills have to do with this? Probably most people reading this post lack presentable Chinese-language skills….

Another thing, I think all the China boosters in this thread need to take a pill. In case you weren’t aware, China is just about to have the biggest blast crater slammed into it’s economy that the world has ever seen. They are going to have massive negative growth in their economy this year. I think they’ll be more concerned with civil unrest and just trying to keep the whole freaking thing together than pipe dreams of internet domination.

Sounds like cooked books to me. You really expect me to believe that 162 million Chinese are are bloggers!!! That means every 1 in 9 Chinese is a blogger. That ratio would include infants and the elderly. If you took out kids and the aged, that would be something like 25% of able bodied Chinese were bloggers. These numbers are just laughable.

China will become the most powerful country in the world before 2010, also their Social Networks greatly trump anything in the US…

[...] The Chinese government may be keeping a close eye on which websites, blogs and search engines their people can visit, but that’s not stopping internet usage from growing fast throughout the country. The government-related information center CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center) claims the nation’s online population has grown 41.9% in 2008 to an astounding 298 million users, reports the BBC. That’s about the size of the entire U.S. population, while eMarketer pegs the online population in the States to be about 200 million. This further cements China’s position as the world’s largest online population, although internet penetration is still fairly low (22,6%) even if it exceeds the world’s average by almost one percent.

Re: crowded Chinese web pages – I think that may be an Asian thing. Korea is the same way. I talked to a guy at Flickr who said their usability tests in Korea yielded comments like “your site is too empty”

[...] 中国政府のインターネット政策は相変わらず検閲の徹底で、国民が訪問できるウェブサイト、ブログ、検索エンジンは厳しく制限されている。しかし、それでもインターネットの利用は中国全土で急速に拡大中だ。政府系情報センターのCNNIC （China Internet Network Information Center）の発表よると、2008年に中国のインターネット利用人口は41.9%増加して、なんと2億9800万人になったとBBCが伝えている。この数は、アメリカの全人口に匹敵する。eMarketerの推定によると、アメリカのオンライン人口はほぼ2億人ということだ。中国のオンライン人口世界一の座はこれでますます確実になったわけだが、普及率自体はまだ比較的低い（22.6%）。ただしこれでも全世界平均を約1%上回ってはいる。調査によると、非都市部での増加率が都市部での増加率をはるかに上回っている。（年間成長率では、非都市部の60.8%に対して都市部は35.6%）。ブロガー人口は1億6200万に達し、携帯からのインターネットへのアクセスも非常にポピュラーだ。CNNICによると、2008年には、1億1760万人が携帯電話からインターネットにアクセスした。これは2007年に比べて133%のアップだった。先週、3G携帯電話がChinaMobile、China Telecom、China Unicomに対してついに認可されたので、今後いっそうの伸びが予測される。高速な3Gネットワークが稼働を始めるのは2011年となる予定。国民がウェブで見たり、検索したりする内容に中国政府がこれほど厳しい制限を加えていなければ、中国のオンラインはさらに活発なものになっていただろう。[原文へ]（翻訳：Namekawa, U） ShowListings(”arc3″); ShowListings(”arc2″); AddClipsUrl = ‘http://jp.techcrunch.com/archives/20090114meanwhile-internet-usage-in-china-still-booming/’; AddClipsTitle = ‘政府の規制にもかかわらず中国のインターネット・ブームは続く’; AddClipsId = ‘2CBE02C952CFE’; AddClipsBcolor=’#78BE44′; AddClipsNcolor=’#D1E9C0′; AddClipsTcolor=’#666666′; AddClipsType=’1′; AddClipsVerticalAlign=’middle’; 前の投稿へトラックバック [...]

I would like to see a no-restrictions-internet in China. Then it would be just a matter of time before it would be #1 in e-commerce.

One thing I forgot to mention. Internet usage might boom in china but if you go on a chinese regular website it’s just a mess, you can’t find anything because there are too many useless informations, advertisements, etc… and it’s confusing and just plain crap. They need to hire some real web designers.

I’m an expat in Shanghai and yes there are some forbidden sites.
What Hemanth said about their lack of english is true but they work on it by taking the problem where it is: childhood. Sometimes I feel sad for those poor kids, they just wanna brainstorm them with english lessons and just like he said right after, they might be number 1 in several years. Watch out america !!

Also as Josh Smith said learning mandarin might be a good idea, I will cuz I’ll gimme more job opportunities.

China is booming ahead of most of the economies. The only thing they lack is a presentable English language skills. But they are working hard on it and in say 10 years I expect they’ll be the No:1
