Visiting Giant Interactive and Shanda

It has been a while since I wrote my first post on this blog about international expansion of Chinese Internet companies. I wrote the post during a train ride from Guangzhou to Shanghai. As I am now traveling to Beijing in an olympic themed train, I will summarize some of the findings I did in Shanghai.

Besides speaking to numerous experts and visiting companies such as the Dutch casual gaming company Spill Group Asia and the leading Chinese social networking site 51.com, my stay in Shanghai could not be complete without visiting two of the most prominent Chinese online gaming companies; Giant Interactive (GI) and Shanda. This is a brief overview of the topics discussed at GI and Shanda.
