Published by February 24th, 2011 in Business Development and Tech Horizon. 2 CommentsI am involved in a lot of conversations about China, the world, the global economy and where it is all headed.

China .CN TLD Registration Rules Change Again #complete_shock
Published by October 11th, 2010 in Business Development, China, Tech Horizon and The Cloud. 0 CommentsIn any case, it is now not the case that a business can register a domain name. Get this.

Google Using Site Speed Ranking & China Based Servers
Published by April 19th, 2010 in Business Development, China and Tech Horizon. 1 CommentIt is also no secret that the percentage of users in China that would love to use foreign web sites for most of their daily stuff – is quite low.
