Pick China Directory

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm WebBase, the creator of Pick China Directory.
China has developed its own internet ecosystem — from WeChat (super app) and Douyin (short video) to DeepSeek (AI) — but for English speakers, navigating this world can be overwhelming. Most resources are either in Chinese or scattered across Wikipedia pages.
That's why I built PCDir. It's a curated directory of 140+ Chinese internet platforms, each explained in English with a simple "China's X" framework — so you instantly know Bilibili is "China's YouTube" and Doubao is "China's ChatGPT."
Currently available as:
- 🌐 Free web directory — browse all categories online
- 📄 $29 Standard PDF — 21 categories, 142+ listings with screenshots, lifetime access
I started this as a side project while researching China's tech landscape, and it's grown into a comprehensive reference used by researchers, investors, and curious minds worldwide.
Would love to hear what Chinese platforms you're curious about! 🚀
