Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, creativity and a sense of serving society is becoming a new mutual rule for the Internet. Every website's smooth operation and success is backed up by new technology and new business models.

Therefore, in my opinion, although there are other reasons for the Chinese Internet's lack of creativity, opportunism is an important factor for its getting lost in development. Some entrepreneurs use nothing but shortcuts to make some quick money and have no interest in technology innovation or user experience creation.

If they don't realize the importance of creativity, and do not restrain their interest in venture capitalism, copycat culture will still dominate the industry. The Internet world, which once inspired the passion of many, will become a living vegetable.
