Well then you’ll need some different toys. Trust issues, money, and cultural differences have laid the foundation for an alternative social network for netizens of the the Middle Kingdom. If you head over there, be prepared to leave your Facebook and Twitter access at home. And if you really want to live like the locals, add Baidu and Sina (English) to your bookmark lists.
I’ve tried out a few of these sites and the biggest obstacle is obviously the language. But as Google Translate continues to improve, it becomes easier and easier to understand foreign content. Check out this translated version of Baidu. And most international sites have an English page anyway.
Probably the most fun I’ve had has been on video sites like Tudou or Youku. These sites are less stringent than Youtube about what kind of IP (read: TV shows) they host.
