FEATURE-China's Internet survivors hit new heights
Reuters, 08.07.03, 9:46 PM ET


By Juliana Liu

BEIJING, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Daniel Chiang, a survivor of China's Internet bust, is no longer embarrassed to go out.

In fact, the 45-year-old chairman of China's biggest listed Internet media firm, Sina.com Corp (nasdaq: SINA - news - people), says he quite enjoys meeting his investors now the company's share price has risen 19-fold over the last year.

But the Taiwan-born basketball enthusiast says he used to feel uncomfortable, especially when Sina stock flirted with the $1 level in 2001 after the tech bubble burst.

"Sometimes they would say, 'Oh Dan, I bought so many Sina shares,'" says Chiang whose own shares are now worth about $66 million compared with just $3.5 million a year ago. "I felt embarrassed and bad because they all lost money back then."
