This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
We list China's most popular websites and apps by category, pairing each with a familiar American counterpart for easy comparison. In China, major companies like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have taken the lead in the domestic Internet sector, advancing its development and carving out an Internet model unlike that of the US. Our goal is to help English-speaking users explore China's web ecosystem in clear, accessible English.
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! 🚀
