A good place to start on tapping into the China market is with Shel Israel's Global Neighbourhoods, especially right now as he is sharing impressions and ideas from his just completed trip there, including keynoting at CNBloggerCon 08. http://redcouch.typepad.com/. I would also recommend my friend and colleague Lonnie Hodge's OneManBandwidth blog http://www.onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress the American Professor in China for a well-informed, on the ground, US expat view. Lonnie and I are working on a regular podcast show on the topic where we will be interviewing a number of key players: watch this space. Yes, Chucky, it is quite amazing.

Sometimes, as an American, I'm overwhelmed when I see and hear the growth that has taken place in that country. By the way, it'd be great to read some more posts about the potential of growth in China and how bloggers can "tap in" to that market. China is absolutely incredible.

Thank you for mentioning it. And thank you for those amazing statistics. OMBW – Well, it would certainly be a privilege to collaborate with Shel on such a work

Ari – Ys, I was aware that CNBloggerCon is to be in Guangzhou and it was an oversight that I did not mention that in the post. Thank you for mentioning it. And thank you for those amazing statistics.

At the time, the city operated with 2 citizens for every 1 cellphone. American cities don't come close!

I had a brief lunch meet up with Shel prior to his flight... He truly "gets it" reference China and is one of the most candid and, at the same time, humble guys I have ever met... Unlike a few (not on the 2.0 tour) now wandering my adopted home prior to Bloggercon Shel is truly celebrating his experience and not at all blinded by the ethnocentrism so apparent in others.... Now, I think it is time for you and Mr. Israel to collaborate on a book about the Social Media scene in China.... OMBW Great post. I had a brief lunch meet up with Shel prior to his flight…
