The Future of Sina will be bright!In China, about 60 Million people are now online, but the worldwide Chinese speaking community may well exceed 90 million people.
It's exciting looking back to May 2000 while Sina was priced around $30 to $35 for just about 10 Million online users. At that moment, Sina not only still lost money, it did not yet enter into the highly profitable online game market, where it now earns more than 70%. Sina started to makte profit on Q4 of last year, 2002 and continued to increase its profit share.

According to hypothesis and taking into accout mobile iMode opportunities and cable connections, Chinese Internet users migth well exceed 750 Million by end 2006!
From this point of view, the potential of Sina still may be over tenfold from now.
