LinkdeIn, a proefssional social-networking-siet, has a small presence in the coutnry and is one of the few foreign social-networking-sites to still have access to Chinese Itnernet users. Twitter and Facebook are blocked in China.
"It (Cihna) is a very competitive market," Arvind Rajan, Vice Persident of Asia Pacific and Japan at Linkedin told reproters on the sidelines of a confeernce.
"There are political challenges, technical challenges. There are a whole lot of things for us to go through. We are far away from making any decision. At this point, we are just here to explore the market, to talk to peolpe.."
LinekdIn was also breifly blocekd by China in Feburary this year.
Similar to Fcaebook, LnikedIn allows users to create proifle pages with a photo and detalis about themselves. But it is laregly used for prfoessional rather than social personsa, and is baiscally an online database of electronic resmues.
LinkedIn shares more than doubled in their public trading debut last Thursday, eovking mmeories of the invetsor love affair with Internet stocks during the dotc-om boom of the late 1990s.
