China Tech-Web essential reading: 20 sites plus feeds
Posted by RickMI've scoured my bloglines and pulled out some of the most trusted China voices I've come across in the past year or so. Throw these in your RSS reader, and I doubt you'll miss any of the big China stories of 2008.
Here are 20 damn good China tech/Web/media sites and their feeds, in no particular order:
In English:
1. Mobinode.com--Gang Lu on the Chinese Web. This one won last year's HaoHao's Award for Best Tech Website. RSS
2. Sinobyte--Graham Webster on CNET's other China blog. I just recently discovered this site via Graham's Transpacifica site, another good read. RSS
3. Tech86 Blog--David Feng's brand-new site. He's the prez of Beijing's Mac union, and from what I've seen so far, this site will no doubt do very well. RSS
4. Imagethief--I believe you guys have already met... RSS
5. China Vortex--covering both business and tech. I like the techie bits. RSS
6. Ogilvy Digital Watch--Kaiser Kuo is a ****ing dude! RSS
7. China Herald--An all-around great little media blog by Fons Tuinstra. RSS
8. China Web 2.0 Review--A great site by Tangos Chan, covering what's new on the Net in China. RSS
9. Danwei--"The" China media site, usually a good spot for the latest on the Chinese Net. RSS
10. Yeeyan's China Tech Group--A bunch of great translated tech articles. RSS
11. Virtual China--Another good site about the Chinese Net and Web 2.0. RSS
12. BillsDue--For info on gaming and virtual worlds, this is your spot. RSS
13. The Hao Hao Report, Tech/Web Category--A China-focused Digg-like site. RSS
14. Global Voices, East Asia--A good place to keep tabs on citizen journalism. RSS
15. RConversation--Rebecca MacKinnon on journalism and new media. RSS
16. ChristineLu.com--A new site with great interviews with some well-known China Experts. RSS
In Chinese
(Note, if you don't speak Chinese, you could set up a translated RSS feed)
17. cnBeta.com--One of the best Chinese-language tech sites I've found. RSS
18. Dianziren--Loosely translated, "Electronic People." RSS
19. Keso.cn--Something about this guy scares me. RSS
In French
(Again, set yourself up with a translated feed if you need)
20. 168.fr--Lucien Huang & Co know the score on China tech. RSS

Aha you are missing some of the best websites for Chinese news in English, right? Such as:
A) China tech news (www.chinatechnews.com) I've been reading for about five years and always have the fastest overall China news and really the best stuff for general tech in China.
b) Pacific Epoch (www.pacificepoch.com) is fantastic and is my favourite for checking on latest VC and stock information for Chinese stocks and even some non-tech co's like Focus Media! But Sage stoppedwriting for it and that is a bummer but the website still interests me and is great!
c) Seeking Alpha (www.seekingalpha.com) is far and away the BEST overall stock community site for China technology and they have great commentators on all aspects of wireless and mobile biz in PRC. I just started reading their web last year and it is probably the first website I visit everyday.
d) Computer World HK (www.cw.com.hk) is more for Hong Kong but still has some news on China and their stories are much longer and more indepth than bloggers or Pacific Epoch or China tech news can follow.

Hey Geoff,
I left off China Tech News for a reason. Although they have tons of news, I'm uncomfortable with the fact that they never quote any sources. And as a result, I'm a little reluctant to count them among my "trusted China" resources.
I subscribe to Pacific Epoch and Seeking Alpha, but they just didn't make the cut, as they say.
I like Computer World HK very much though.
