All of the amazing websites and apps created here are just copies of other apps, localized for China. I don't see this as anything to be too proud off, creating the apps isn't hard, and china has a huge number of people so you have that going for you.

Roll back in the 80ies, you will see the same comments about Japan doing no innovation on cars, electronics, etc.

I work in China tech sector, young Chinese are innovating furiously, but it will be more obvious when there will be one or two worldwide success. I would bet it'll come from hardware and probably shanzhai movement.

They have a lot of existing and potential users. Roughly three times more than the US. And the thing is that there will come a point where they'll go from copying to actually innovating, just like Japan and South Korea did.

- WeChat (On all smartphones and old java shitty ones too)... Tencent in general.

- BYD

- taobao

These are all innovative companies (one with Warren Buffet backing them).
