You can find out two business issues existing in the countryside.

Firstly, most farmers want to know their corps can make a good price in nationwide markets， but their information is not symmetry, and secondly, many smaller and medium sized enterprises have the demand to promote their products and services, but they do not have a lot of money for advertising.

Unlike first-tier cities, most rural family can’t afford a computer with internet access, but nearly every individual in China has a cell phone.

Because small cities and rural areas still hold the majority of China’s population, business opportunities are here, maybe.

If you want to start own business in mobile internet fields, the demands and requests from rural areas are the key drivers in the future, I think. Especially, it can help you to avoid direct competition with giant internet companies in first-tier cities.

You still can get benefits from Chairman Mao’s theory that focusing on the countryside rather than large cities(Chinese:农村包围城市).

Beijing Government announced that the city planning body will be cautiously studying efficient measures to control the boom in vehicle ownership and to ease continuing traffic pressures, including license plate control, in October.

But an unexpected result happened after news release. More than 1,289,000 cars, multi-purpose vehicles, sport-utility vehicles and minivans were sold in November, up 27 percent from a year earlier and 10.5 percent from October, reported by China Daily.

Surprisingly, as of late November, automobile ownership in Beijing stood at 4.67 million, and there are 6.19 million registered drivers in the city, according to the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau.

I think, in fact, the key is to not only develop public transport, but also control the booming population.

Competition between Chinese Internet giants, Tencent QQ(Chinese:腾讯 QQ) and Qihoo 360 (Chinese:奇虎 360) have signed a compromise agreement on Wednesday, after the authority intervened in the dispute.

Meanwhile, Qihoo 360, one of China’s top anti-virus companies and which has 300 million users, claimed that two companies’ products can now run on the same computers, following intervention from three government ministries.

The conflict began two months ago when Qihoo 360 alleged that Tencent QQ was scanning the private data of its more than 600 million users, and launch a software that is claimed to block plug-ins that could cause such the privacy leaks. Tencent QQ rejected that allegation and announced that its QQ users would have to uninstall software from 360 before being allowed to use its instant message client.

It’s possible because of business strategy that prompted Qihoo to target Tencent. Despite that online users in China dislike Tencent is well known, this time Qihoo’s counterattack is not good idea, I think.

Lack of independent’s conclusions, Qihoo’s action is akin to not only as a athlete, but also a referee.
