We are the largest blog provider in China. For my experience, I think you need to learn more about China government operation system and policy. PR is not enough. If one foreign blog provider hopes to offer blog hosting for Chinese people, he needs to: 1, Register on www.miibeian.gov.cn 2, Waiting for China government audit 3, Get a ICP code (you need to have a mobile phone of China because this code will be sent to only to your cell phone by SMS) 4, Check your blog users everyday and remove any content against China government policy, such as adults, political...

There may not be much interesting political commentary in Chinese blogs, but there is a lot that is powerfully interesting and important to companies. After all, blooggers and other commentators are basically given a free fire zone when it comes to commercial topics. Given that Edelman represents companies that Chinese bloggers and BBS posters love to talk about - and, quite often, trash mercilessly - they and their clients have a very real interest in understanding what is said. Which is why Edelman invested the time and effort in trying, and why their disappointed clients are looking elsewhere to get a clearer idea of the online buzz about their companies in China.

Why should Edelman check these blogs in China if they have nothing good to say??

Edelman and Rubel have talked about the power of the Internet and the importance of "conversations" but they play the old manipulate and control PR game. Their most egregious failure may be in not addressing these issues in their public blogs. Mark Rose PR Blog News prblognews.com Yes, it may be the impending end of PR as we know it.
