Block an original and contend for victory with an imitation – YouKu


Google has Youtube, whereas Alibaba has YouKu. I think BaiDu and YouKu in China are the biggest beneficiary of the Chinese government. Google is the world’s best search engine, and Youtube is also the best site to upload a video in the world. 

However, these are not nearly enough in China. BaiDu and YouKu are the best sites in China. 
Korean dramas would be uploaded in real time on these sites, and the latest Fox dramas began on May, 24 hours season 9, is being aired as you can see a picture above. 
This means that YouKu becomes a very special medium and spearhead to spread the Korean wave because many people get the latest Korean culture when they search something on YouKu.

Google and Youtube are not available in China like Facebook. 
Thus, BaiDu, Alibaba, and YouKu have sprung up to China, which are the largest recipient of the Chinese government. 
There is another social network service in China, like facebook. It’s Weibo. Within an hour of playing a Korean drama in Korea, Chinese people can watch it on YouKu. On the site, a copyright is not necessary. 
The only thing what we can do is to watch it or upload. I don’t know whether it is good or bad. Chinese internet companies or software development enterprises that have established the specific profit model in terms of a copyright make a huge profit in some ingenious ways. 

YouKu might shake Youtube off soon. China has an internet population of over 500 million and about billion in terms of the real time log-ins and clicks. 
It might feel like they have gained a thousand troops supporting them now. 
That’s the way China has, such as a technology of making my own things of others and advanced imitation. 

Google, Facebook, Youtube, Amazone, Ebay… Their Chinese names are BaiDu, Weibo, YouKu, TaoBao, T-mall…. 
What’s the next thing? MAST prepares anything next.
