Long gone are the days when China's Internet pioneers such as Jack Ma could be labeled young. The 48-year-old e-commerce titan, who ranks No. 395 with wealth of US$3.4 billion on the 2013 Forbes Billionaires List published last week, has already announced plans to step down as CEO of his Alibaba Group and move younger people up the company's management ranks.
So who will be one of the next e-commerce giants in China? Or Internet leaders akin to search giant Robin Li?
To provide readers some leads, Forbes China, the licensed Chinese-language edition of Forbes, has unveiled its second "30 Under 30" list of top Chinese entrepreneurs under the age of 30. The report is modeled on Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list published in the United States. This year's members include founders of businesses involved in everything from online advertising to Dropbox-like storage in China. Only one list member is female.
Forbes China's crop is listed in alphabetical order below.
