This story hasn't convinced me that China's startup scene is anything to pay attention to, outside of China. Nearly every single one of their major successes, are successes in China, and only China. Those successes, as great as they are, pale in comparison to the foreign competition in hard numbers, let alone quality and breadth of software. Furthermore, are any of these services anything that hadn't been done before a dozen times? It isn't innovation just because you have State protectionism and made it on a computer. Nor will it necessarily lead to a major financial victory beyond China.
