Android app store AppChina has secured A-round funding of 40 million RMB (around $6.4 million), thanks to a major contribution from Beijing-based Fang Group.
Lee Kai-fu's incubator also providing backing.
AppChina is one of China's leading app stores offering an alternative to Google's own official Android Market, which remains unavailable due to Google's ongoing issues in the country.
There are a total of 40,000 apps currently on the store, which launched in August 2010.
Many markets
Innovation Works incubation project AppChina has recently seen a design overhaul, while revealing some new exclusive partnerships. These included the Chinese-made Flipboard clone, Zaker.
A new developer site has also been launched, as well as a series of events with a view to entice the local dev community.
The mobile app can be downloaded from the AppChina website, though obviously the content is in Chinese.
