With more than 600 million internet users in China (twice that of the US), it’s no wonder that so many enterprises want to establish a presence there.

Whether to reach the growing base of online shoppers or to provide employees in China with access to benefits and cloud applications, organizations quickly realize that not only can latency become an issue, but just deciphering the rules and regulations can be daunting. While not impossible to achieve, knowing the licensing and content rules ahead of time could save you from failing down the road with your China presence.

ICP stands for “Internet Content Provider”. The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) governs this license. You will see ICP license numbers on the bottom of websites. The PSB (Public Security Bureau) is another governing body within China. The PSB Beian is another regulation that is mandatory for all websites in China.

The ICP Beian and PSB Beian are mandatory for all websites in China. The ICP License is mandatory for eCommerce website with a shopping cart. The industry-specific licenses are mandatory for those industry-specific websites.

The FAQ document covers:

• The different types of ICP & Beian licenses

Western online retailers have benefited from China’s massive and rapidly growing base on online consumers. The demand for international travel is also growing at exponential rates for this group of web and mobile app savvy consumers. Researchers have found that China’s travel market will continue to experience steady growth through 2030.

An explosive demand for informative travel sites and a void in customer loyalty due to a lack of major travel brands have left the door open for western travel sites seeking to engage Chinese travelers.

This white paper discusses the unique opportunities for foreign-based travel sites to benefit from the burgeoning marketing of online travel in China.

Some interesting stats of China’s travel industry shared in this whitepaper:

• Chinese international travel will rise an average of 17 percent per year through 2020, spurred on by rising incomes and aspirations
• The World Tourism Council projects China’s international travel to TRIPLE Japan’s by 2020
• China’s President Xi Jinping noted in April 2014 that China will likely have 400 million tourists traveling abroad in the next 5 years
• The market is healthy and diversified, with two-thirds of China’s travelers expected to come from smaller cities
• 650 urban areas within China will soon have higher per capita disposable income than Shanghai
• Over 60 percent of travel guide app users are between the ages of 25 and 35
• They are eager to visit new places and do so in groups
• Vacations were the highest-rated category for trading up among Chinese respondents, compared to other categories such as food and beverages and personal care
• They have had little experience with leisure travel, so they seek out online travel sites for recommendations, information, and reservations. These are their most trusted sources.
• Social media opinions play a huge role in travel purchase decisions
• 400 million Chinese use blogs and consume videos

Some key takeaways from this whitepaper include:

• The growth in demand for international travel
• Understanding & capturing China’s international travel consumers
• How social media impacts travel purchase decisions
• Reaching beyond big cities – targeting China’s tier 2 & 3 cities
• Internet infrastructure performance
• Regulatory and licensing requirements

Today, China has 256 million adults who qualify as travelers, according to the global travel market research PhoCusWright. Says Douglas Quinby, PhoCusWright’s vice president of research, “That’s more than twice as many people than in the U.S. by a significant margin.”

Over 600 million internet users and an annual ecommerce revenue growth rate of 120%, makes China the fastest growing and soon-to-be the largest ecommerce market in the world.

In this Fleishman Hillard China report, sponsored by CDNetworks, readers will get a deeper understanding of e-commerce market and insights on how global retailers were able to achieve success.

Key topics explored in this report include:

• Characteristics of Chinese online shoppers
• Mobile & Social commerce in China
• Buyer preferred market places: TMall & Taobao
• China’s online payment platforms
• Keys to success in China’s e-tail market

The report also shares four key platforms in China:

1. Marketplaces that provide companies with the tools to display and sell products through an online storefront. The largest marketplaces are Alibaba.com (chiefly B2B), Tao Bao (C2C), and TMall (B2C)
2. Online retail sites such as Jindong Mall/JD.com (formerly 360Buy.com). These are basically online department stores that sell a variety of different branded goods.
3. Online brands such as VANCL, an online apparel company. For a long time, VANCL sold only its own branded clothing. Recently it has begun selling other brands.
4. Offline-to-online (O2O) commerce. Allows skeptical Chinese consumers to see and handle the merchandise in a physical store before they buy it online. Chinese B2C merchants Suning and Guomei exemplify the O2O model, which currently appears to be China’s most promising type of ecommerce.
