Here in Yiwu, which claims to be the site of the world’s biggest wholesale market, Taobao has started to change the look of Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College.

The school’s vice dean, Jia Shaohua, points out an area designated as a start-up site for students seeking to get rich. He points to students taking orders by computer, packaging products, sorting inventory and taking photos of the items for display online, then adds, “Around the school now, there is a whole Taobao industrial chain.”

Rocking story on the TaoBao ecommerce story... And its really interesting how the Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College is really being entrepreneurial. I guess it's great to be in school right next to a commercial centre. Who needs jobs to be created in China? Entepreneurial spirit is what matters!
