Sitting in the foyer of one of Qinghua Science Park's stately buildings, Alex Lin ( 林永青)switches back and forth between Chinese and English, according to the mood and direction of the conversation. "There is a lot of potential for consultation." He continues, "People should have access to business and finance information. It is important to success."

Alex Lin is talking about his company, China Value(价值中国). Taking a new perspective on the dissemination of scholarly and business information, Alex has amassed an impressive number of sources – from professors, to financial professionals, to analysts, and more – and compiled a library of information that is in demand in China's current rapidly expanding economy.

Lin points out that credibility, as opposed to sheer volume, is key in the success of China Value's business model. "[The sources] all have strong credentials." He explains that by gathering certified professionals and compiling their takes on modern issues and important business information, China Value not only supplies modern professionals with tools for success, but helps to propel the spread of information in a way that reaches those who previously lacked access.

"Everyone should be able to use this information," says Lin. It is because of his passion for this belief that he has situated China Value at the top of its field. China Value is the strongest website of its kind, boasting a kind of professionalism and an expanse of information that Lin strives to provide for all who seek it.

And he ardently believes this service's usefulness is not limited to China. "This is definitely a global resource. This business model can be applied everywhere." It may be true that many Chinese businesses cater specifically to the China market, but Lin indicates that China Value will hold value no matter where a site user is situated.

In China, where many are undereducated in business and have no choice but to learn by doing, a resource for bolstering enterprise and technology will have a large impact on stabilizing and supporting new business growth. Increased access to information becomes daily more vital to China's economic growth and dependability. Consequently, the rise of a business like China Value seems almost essential to China's professional development and a welcome entry onto this growing nation's entrepreneurial landscape.
