PPStream offers P2P video on demand and has done partnerships with ESPN Star China, Sina and Yahoo among others. And of course, BitTorrent sites are enormously popular in China.

PP Stream competes with Google portfolio company Xunlei as well as with UUSee which recently raised its series B funding at $20M.
