Opera today opened its new offices in (the communist) Beijing, China.

China has more than 100 million Internet users, and the number is increasing rapidly. Over 400 million people own a mobile phone, providing a massive market potential for Opera’s browsers.

With the new Beijing office, Opera is hoping to secure a strategic foothold in the emerging Chinese market and reinforcing its partnerships with local companies. Opera already has business relationships with Chinese and China-based companies.

In February Opera opened an office in India. The Norway based Opera also has offices in Japan, Sweden, USA, and Korea.
