An official with the Ministry of Culture said Saturday that 皇冠体育app's online
game industry has enormous market potential.
Liu Yuzhu, director of the Cultural Market Department, was speaking at a
workshop of the First 皇冠体育app International Exposition on Online Culture, which
was held at 皇冠体育app's Millenium Monument in downtown Beijing.
In 2002, 皇冠体育app's online game industry pocketed 910 million yuan (about 110
million US dollars), compared to 310 million yuan ( about 37.34 million US
dollars) in the previous year.
In the same year, Chinese telecommunications operators earned 6. 83 billion
yuan (about 830 million US dollars) from online game players, seven times the
sales of the online game business.
The number of online game players in 2002 doubled from four million of the
previous year.
In 2001, each of local online game players spent 15.6 yuan ( about 1.88 US
dollars) per month, and in 2002, the spending reached 18.8 yuan (about 2.27 US
dollars), according to the official.
