Reuters has an interesting blog post talking about some of the challenges being faced by people those trying to create successful websites in China. The key issue mentioned is that China's web is becoming cluttered with lots of similar sites trying to find their niche, while the key categories of search, retail and auctions are already dominated by major players.

It's suggested that one of the key opportunities for success online in China lie in mobile Internet and related services. With a huge proportion of China's Internet population accessing the Internet on their mobile phones and 3G phones becoming increasingly available, lots of companies are scrambling for a piece of the potentially lucrative mobile pie.
