Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China this month has ignited interest among Russian tech companies to invest in the world’s second-largest economy.The most-used social networking website in Russian-speaking countries — VKontakte — announced on Tuesday it is entering China by opening a marketing branch in Beijing.Russia’s answer to Facebook has its eye on bringing Chinese advertisers to its platform instead of attracting individual users.Top executives at VK, which means “get in touch”, said that the growing ambitions of Chinese enterprises to go global have provided a golden advertising opportunity for emerging social network platforms.VK, based in St Petersburg, has about 250 million accounts and 4 billion daily page views. Nearly 70 percent of the users are in Russia, with the rest from other countries such as Ukraine where Russian is spoken.
