iQIYI Video Streaming Service

iQIYI is a leading provider of online entertainment video services in China, often described as the 'Netflix of China.' Launched on April 22, 2010, the platform was founded by Yu Gong and has grown to become one of the largest video sites in the world in terms of user time spent and subscription numbers. The brand is deeply rooted in the Chinese technology ecosystem, utilizing advanced AI and big data to drive content production and user engagement.

The service operates primarily within mainland China, but it has significantly expanded its international footprint across Southeast Asia and other global markets through its overseas business division. While it started as a subsidiary of the search engine giant Baidu, iQIYI is now a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ, though Baidu remains its controlling shareholder. The platform's ecosystem includes a wide range of content including original dramas, variety shows, and licensed movies.
