China's Internet war, only the "Warring States"
Looking at today's China Internet giants are busy big enclosure, a life-line to provide Internet users a one-stop solution for all of the posture. Zhang's analysis is this: Internet companies are only two states, either "1" or a "0"; not survive, is destroyed, there is no intermediate state.
"China's Internet is now the time has come to battle, this is a war between the giants." Zhang said. In his eyes, giant seven: Sina, Sohu, Netease, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, and grand. "You could say the 'Warring States', but there should not be Qinmie six countries, and finally may be a bit world." Appears in Charles Zhang, today, a small Chinese Internet companies to live "very easy", great hard buildup in all fields, otherwise it is difficult to live. "Warring States in this battle up to five years and find out."
Charles Zhang is not optimistic about the results of a small company innovation. He believes that in China, the small company's business risk is very large, large companies as long as the start-up companies paid to poach talent, easily "copy" on the line. This is why China's Internet industry giants are doing is always only a few, small companies do not survive.

"People always think that U.S. Internet companies in China is not successful, because of lack of acclimatization, because of local policy do not understand, I do not think so." Zhang told this newspaper that, "This is the second reason, in the first row bit of the reason is the result of market choices today China's Internet giants, _select_ed out of the market.
