"NetEase (NTES) fits right into the theme of rapidly expanding Internet revenues and profits in China," says Jim Trippon.
The editor of the China Stock Digest explains, "At least 450 million Chinese are now online. Online gaming has 265 million users and is expected to gross over $4 billion over the past year.
"This company has a wide offering of products, even though it is mostly known to western investors as a gaming platform. In fact, NetEase falls into all of the major categories of web revenue generation with significant ad sales, a home page service similar to Yahoo, email, search and a new online B2C (business to consumer) shopping presence.

"Our latest recommendation is a bet on China through SINA Corp. (SINA), a leading Chinese online media services provider," says international investing specialist Nicholas Vardy.
The editor of The Global Bull Market Alert explains, "Up until relatively recently, Sina's services were similar to other portals in China. But its Sina Weibo, a new twitter-like micro-blogging service, has caught users' (and investors') attention.
"First, unlike Twitter, Sina Weibo is in Chinese, giving it a big edge with local users. It also allows users to attach pictures, video and audio to their postings -- something you can't do easily with Twitter.

"In our opinion, Chinese Internet search company Baidu (BIDU) remains the top growth stock in the market," says growth stock investor Mike Cintolo.
In Cabot Top Ten, a newsletter service that each week assesses the market's 10 strongest stocks based on technical performance, he explains, "The big idea with Baidu, of course, is online search in China, an industry that's probably where the U.S. market was back in the mid 2000s, before a few years of mega-growth.

One month ago, we featured a special report featuring the favorite China-based stocks among financial newsletter advisors. Since then, the 14 stocks covered in the report have risen an average of more than 15%.
The performance of these stocks -- along with the overall China market -- has far exceeded the 3% gain in the S&P 500 index over the same time period. That report can be viewed here.
Despite these gains, many of the leading advisors remain bullish on China; in particular, several have recently focused on the online gaming sector in Asia. Indeed, Timothy Lutts notes that while the video game market in the U.S. is slowing, the video game market in China is expected to show 20%+ annual growth in coming year.

Jim Collins, editor of OTC Insight, uses a proprietary quantitative system to isolate high growth and momentum stocks trading at reasonable valuations relative to that growth.
His latest two featured stocks based on these criteria are both China-based companies: Internet search provider Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU) and online gaming firm Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (NASDAQ: SNDA).
Collins notes that Baidu's search engine was the most frequently used in China in 2006. Last December, he adds, Baidu announced its intention to enter the Japanese search market, which is currently dominated by Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG).
In March, he adds, the company launched a limited beta trial of its Japanese language search services, which included web and image search.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, he reports, Baidu showed earnings of $0.61 a share, compared with $0.21 per share in the prior year. Revenues, he states, increased 121% to $53 million. The stock, he explains, has a relative strength rating of 99 (out of 100) and garners a B+ for accumulation and distribution.
