From Made in China to Invented in China:
Chinov8!
A Silicon Dragon tech economy began in 2002 with Chinese
returnees-so-called sea turtles who came home to lay their eggs-who cloned Google, YouTube, and Amazon, grabbed Sand Hill Road money, and scored on NASDAQ and the NYSE. Today, homegrown Chinese entrepreneurs are snapping up venture capital from Chinese currency funds for even more clones--Beijing techie Wang Xing alone has cloned Facebook, Twitter, and a Chinese GroupOn.
The needle is gradually moving from "made in China" to "invented in China." Micro-innovations tweaked for the local culture are cropping up more often. Sina's Weibo, a hybrid Twitter-Facebook, layered in video and photo sharing before Twitter did.
The long-awaited promise of disruptive technology from China is coming, too, symbolized by China's climb to fourth place worldwide for new patent applications.

Renren's 360 Deal Signals It's Bigger Sandbox Time in Chinese Internet |
Renren's acquisition of Chinese video sharing site 56.com is a reminder that consoliation is happening fast in the Chinese Internet space and, in effect, squeezing out startups that lack original ideas and deep pockets.
Market leaders such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (the infamous BAT) are racing to assemble all-in-one popular Web services in one sandbox. These giants in China are making larger and larger castles in the Chinese Web in a winner-takes-all struggle.
Such web empire building is not something entirely new. America's dominant consumer technology companies - Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon - have repeatedly ventured into each others' turf.
In China today, the race is on to build large, horizontally integrated sites or be left behind. The Chinese Web is becoming a collection of sites that combine social networking, online video, microblogs, group buying, search, and portals under one roof.
