From where it matters the most. Of course, we mean Greater China. In this veritable people’s republic of 400+ million wired, there’s got to be stories coming out all the time.

At this blog, presently mainly run by David Feng, get the inside skinny on what’s driving “China 2.0″. Read the tweets, local and global, and get to find out what’s ticking in the Middle Kingdom.

This blog started in January 2008, and follows on from the former so-called “blognation China” (October 2007 - December 2007). The blog takes a look at China behind the tweets, as well as Web 2.0 sites and key players in China. It also expands it coverage to what is known as “Greater China”, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is updated nearly daily, including weekends.

We are also on Twitter (with brief info updates): @techblog86.

Special Features

This blog is actively updated on all events which techblog86 or @DavidFeng actively tweets about — this includes the annual CHINICT, next up in late May 2010, as well as on a few tweetups or tech events.

Additionally, in the quest to come up with a list of good, free (or “low-cost”) wifi access spots, there’s the Wifi in China section. Every so often we’ll head to a new place, armed with wifi gear, and try our 15-inch (or at times 17-inch) MacBook Pro and (in some venues) the iPod touch on the wifi.

We hope you enjoy what’s here on the techblog!
