It was when SARS practically emptied Beijing's previously bustling Zhongguancun electronics market in 2003 that vendor Liu Qiangdong decided to move his counter space into cyberspace.
It was the genesis of the country's largest online electronics retailer, 360buy.com. The company accounted for 32.5 percent of the country's online business in 2010.
"My dream is to make 360buy.com one of the top five e-commerce companies in the world," he says.
