Chinese people have been watching television shows exclusively on the Internet for the past five years, but it is only now that the industry is consolidating, according to Shang Na, chief of the video section of Sohu.com.
China has about 450 million online video viewers, nearly80percent of its total Internet-connected population. The number is expected to reach 700 million by 2016, according to the China-based marketing consultancy agency iResearch.
Online TV shows can be watched on any device at any time as long as there is an Internet connection.
