The iResearch Consulting Group recently estimated that China's total value of online games exports in 2008 exceeded US $100 million. Compared to the online games exported in 2007 that valued US $55 million, the amount has almost doubled.

Although the effects of the global financial crisis are currently spreading, China's online gaming industry's exports are still growing rapidly.

The online gaming industry has seen the fastest growth in exports among all cultural industries over the past several years.
