KTY: What should the Marketplace section of the Wall Street Journal be saying about Chinese web and mobile companies?

Lu:  You may find most of the portals are not web2.0. Most of the companies are still in the shadow of copycats, but never look down on them. They have the users and they understand the culture. On the other hand, pay more attention to some of those companies. They are not ready, but once they are ready to come out, they could be the storm.

KTY:  What is most intriguing about the Chinese market?

Lu:  It is massive, but it is still not mature yet. If you want the share of market, go there now before it becomes mature.
