Digital China Guide is a filtered perspective, a guide, and an online resource of aggregated feeds, articles, media, links, and statistics relating to China’s Digital Ecosystem.
I want to make it easy for you to come and find interesting and factual China focused resources. I know this is a rather large and growing ecosystem, however I will start mapping the environment by identifying the key areas. This will become a comprehensive guide as depth and diversity will accrue over time.
The primary focus will initially be upon web media and new media components. As the Chinese Digital Ecosystem widens and new components secure more space within the digital terrain they will also be tagged and followed.

Who ever finds it helpful and anyone can contribute.
About The Creator
Hi, I’m Tim Haynes the creator of Digital China Guide. My old school roots can be found in sociology where I cut my teeth on the Internet in the early 90’s when browsers were still textual and dial-up was a privilege. This began my lifelong passion and career path trajectory from a fledgling Academic, to a Creative Director, Internet Entrepreneur, Interactive Director, Chief Digital Officer, and General Manager Starcom IP China. Throughout my roles and various business ventures my passion for digital remains my constant driving force.
