Take a few facts about B2B market in China, for starters.

1. About 99% of all ecommerce transactions in china are in the B2B market

2. US$ 50bn is being spent over the internet in B2B market segment in China

3. China's online B2B market is larger than B2C market

4. 78% of Chinese websites are operated by enterprises and 5% by businesses
