The Chinese market is so vast and
so exciting it is hard to overstate its future importance to
the world economy.
Most significant for CBE, this
burgeoning market is remarkably under-serviced and devoid of
what Westerners would expect to see as normal business
infrastructure.
This mismatch -- between the services
needed and the services provided (or more
accurately not provided) - is what makes the Chinese market an
incredible opportunity for CBE.

A Chinese research firm said China has
surpassed the United States as the world's largest Internet
market based on number of users.
BDA, a firm based in
Beijing, said data from the China Internet Network Information
Center indicated China had an Internet population of 210
million at the end of last year, compared to 216 million in
the United States.
"Based on these sources and the
assumption that these markets have continued to grow in 2008
to date at the same rates that they grew in 2007, we can
conclude that China has by now comfortably surpassed the
United States as the world's largest Internet population," Bin
Liu, BDA's chief media analyst, said in a
statement.
