China's digital market doesn't play by the same rules. The platforms are different. The consumer behaviour is different. The infrastructure, the regulations, the payment systems are all different. Businesses that walk in with a Western playbook tend to find this out later than they'd like.
That's why Eggplant Digital exists.
Founded in Beijing in 2008 by Alex Dodkin, we've spent over fifteen years helping Western businesses find their footing in China's digital ecosystem. 

Most businesses we work with have an established web presence, but run into practical issues with localisation, especially with a country like China, for example.

The most obvious issue is the Great Firewall of China. The main issues here are speed, reliability, and payment systems. However, the location of hosting is often a big question that needs fixing. This often includes dealing with things like ICP licenses to host inside the Chinese firewall.
Our team spans Beijing, Shenzhen, and the UK, which gives clients the combination of on-the-ground China expertise and a clear understanding of what Western businesses actually need.
