China represents the world's largest online market today at c.25% of the 3+ billion people online globally. Complex regulation, a tightly maintained national firewall and a lack of understanding of China by the West presents huge challenges but also significant opportunities for infrastructure providers if these matters can be addressed. Oliver Jones, co-founder and CEO of Chayora, a Hong Kong-based investor, developer and operator of data centres will describe the journey, strategic considerations, key stages and the story so far for his company.
