I'm in Shanghai...

In my mind, the bitcoin ecosystem here is still underdeveloped. BTCChina and it's competitors are a good start, but they aren't able to compete with the big Western exchanges in terms of security or useability (and that's not saying all that much -- aiming for parity is hardly shooting for the moon).

For the past couple of months, we've been working on a new China/Global BTC exchange that will hopefully change that. We plan to advertise online and in Shanghai's financial districts... including a 0.1 BTC giveaway for new users.

No URL yet -- we're still doing stress testing and getting all our ducks in a row. But watch this space. Next weekend, all going well...
