Short answer: Yes. It will have to earn a valuation by similar means because the rest of the China internet economy will converge on a global model (Which might be a little different from a US model, but probably fairly close).

This isn't investment advice. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

Much of the Chinese market is closed, which will artificially prevent convergence to a global model.
