Chinese telecommunications solutions provider Huawei has launched its social networking service website Aimi.com which targets Chinese white-collar netizens, marking Huawei's formal entry into the Internet business.

CR-Nielsen, the Chinese joint venture of the international market research firm Nielsen, has published the latest statistics of the most popular social networking services websites in China, with 51.com tops the ranking list by weekly independent visits of 14 million people.

After more than one year of preparation, Chinese social networking service provider 51.com has announced the official launch of its self-developed game platform, Game.51.com.

After Tencent announced plans to block Caihong QQ, which was originally rumored to be related to the Chinese social networking site 51.com, the Chinese SNS website admitted that the software was owned by 51.com, but it announced at the same time that Caihong QQ is a legal instant messaging assistant software.

Tencent will start a large-scale action aimed at eliminating illegally installed functions and spyware from its QQ instant messaging software in China.

The Chinese social networking services website 51.com.com is planning to launch a game platform in the coming days and it will also be the first time for the website to tap the game industry since it gained a huge investment from China's leading online game company Giant Interactive Group.

After Chinese online auction website Taobao.com last week announced plans to block the search engine of Baidu.com (BIDU), social networking services websites, including Blog.sohu.com, 51.com, Xiaonei.com and Hainei.com, also have admitted to blocking Baidu, the top search engine in China.
