China is a country of hard-working people, and it has one of the largest online communities of internet users. Like much else, the IT industry in China has had a boom, giving rise to many internet users, IT professionals, bloggers, and hackers. Despite growth in economy and many opportunities, a lot of people have turned towards online methods of income mainly due to a lot of population in the country and the high competition. Hence there's a large community of bloggers in China. Continuing our series on top 10 blogs and bloggers around the world, we decided to look into what blogs are most popular in China. Here's our list of the top 10 bloggers and blogs in China.
Blog ranking
One thing that's really inspirational about the Chinese is that, they make almost everything themselves, and use those things as well. They have their own vehicles, they have their own stealth fighters, they have their own satellites, and they have their own search engine, social media and blogging services. And it isn't something that a small, local company runs with limited scope. These services are being used throughout China.
How's that relevant? Well, many popular bloggers in China are using Chinese services such as Sina and Sohu as their host and publishing platform. Forget WordPress or Blogger, the Chinese will have it their own way! While there's nothing wrong with that, it does put us in a bit of a problem. Some of these blogs aren't sub-domain blogs. So their Alexa and Google PR ranking is common and shared with the main domain. So ranking them on the basis of Alexa (or something similar) is useless.
Another thing to consider is, since many of these blogs are in Chinese, their major audience comes from the native Chinese-speaking community. In this regard, the local search engines and publishing platforms can provide a better estimate of what blog is more popular on the basis of total views or hits. Hence, we have picked up some such blogs, along with some regular ones with their Alexa ranks. from different categories. Enjoy :)
