Gst, I'm more interested in what's going on in China than at Amzn these days. >>Two events came together on the last day of 2001 to wrap up the most chaotic year in the history of China's information technology, a year in which the main telecom network carriers took centre stage and most of the dotcoms fizzled out on the sidelines.<< >>Then there is the disgruntled Wang Juntao, the creator of the mainland's biggest online retailer, 8848.net. In September, Mr Wang departed from My8848.com, which was a breakaway unit of 8848.net. Then, just two months after his resignation, My 8848.com collapsed. That dealt a tough blow to consumer confidence, especially when it was discovered that the dotcom owed millions of yuan to creditors and customers. << china.scmp.com
