NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -05/18/12)- China's internet stocks have posted mixed results recently as government restrictions, high costs, and a shift to mobile devices have made it difficult for companies to tap into the nation's vast online market. It is estimated that only 37.7 percent of China is online according to the China Internet Network Information Center (CINIC). Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in China's Internet Sector and provides equity research on E Commerce China Dangdang Inc. (DANG) and Youku Inc. (YOKU)

China currently has more than 500 million internet users. China's internet growth has lagged in recent years, 55.8 million users were still added in 2011, according to the CINIC. Estimates from eMarketer, a digital-marketing research firm, projects that online advertising revenue is projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2011 to $9.5 billion in 2014. With tight restrictions from the government and growing competition, internet companies have struggled to turn users into reliable sources of revenue.

"A lot of these problems are coming from the fact that most of these firms are still figuring out what the ultimate business model is going to be," said David Wolf, chief executive of Wolf Group Asia. In regards to slowing internet user growth, he added, "It will be about who has the deeper pockets and who is going to be able to evolve their service to keep users. We are looking at more spending before we see more revenue."

Anonymous has gone after and taken down Indian government websites over the country's Internet censorship plan, which has resulted in the blocking of websites like The Pirate Bay and Vimeo.

"Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck," the @Anon_Central Twitter feed tweeted earlier today.

Hackers have since targeted the websites of the Indian Supreme Court, the All India Congress Committee, Copyrightlabs.in, the country's Department of Telecommunications, the Ministry of Information Technology, and the Jammu & Kashmir Police, according to @Anon_Central.

Anonymous is tagging its Twitter posts with calls to end censorship and save The Pirate Bay.

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation noted in February, "India has been known to censor online content, typically under the guise of national security or obscenity." That same month, Google and Facebook were required to remove from their websites content the Indian government had deemed offensive. They were among 21 companies forced to take down photographs, videos, text, and other items officials consider anti-religious or anti-social.

The Anonymous attacks started amidst reports that Internet crackdowns were blocking sites like The Pirate Bay, Vimeo, Daily Motion, and Pastebin in India.

Leading the charge is @opindia_revenge, under the #OpIndia tag on Twitter. The feed encouraged Web users to "use tor or VPNs to access torrent sites. #DEFY #government. Tell them they cannot stop you."

The @opindia_revenge feed promised continued attacks. "#India its a DDOS attack. We do not assure for how long we can keep down sites. But we are firing at them. They will face lags," it said earlier in the day.

The move comes after The Pirate Bay was hit with a DDoS. It has not been revealed who carried out the attack, but The Pirate Bay said it was not Anonymous.

Wikileaks.org has also been under attack for several days.
