Vincent Tao, CEO of PPTV, said that Chinese video-sharing firms have seen explosive growth in their advertising revenue this year.

"I think there will be an IPO (initial public offering) wave of Chinese online video sites in the next one to two years," he said.

Yao has been planning an IPO overseas from the first day he created the company. He hopes it will be in 2012 or 2013 when the company and the market are both ready. "It means a bigger platform and a larger dream for us," he said.

"Windows, Microsoft or Facebook - there is no a word in the language of IT that relates to Chinese people," Yao said. "I hope PPTV will be the first one."
