All of the amazing websites and apps created here are just copies of other apps, localized for China. I don't see this as anything to be too proud off, creating the apps isn't hard, and china has a huge number of people so you have that going for you.
Show us were China is innovating, that is where the real story is.
- gbog 13y agoRoll back in the 80ies, you will see the same comments about Japan doing no innovation on cars, electronics, etc. I work in China tech sector, young Chinese are innovating furiously, but it will be more obvious when there will be one or two worldwide success. I would bet it'll come from hardware and probably shanzhai movement.

- jotm 13y agoThey have a lot of existing and potential users. Roughly three times more than the US. And the thing is that there will come a point where they'll go from copying to actually innovating, just like Japan and South Korea did.
