Oculus to tap China market

Report says the firm could open a VR online store this year

Oculus VR LLC, a virtual-reality company backed by Facebook Inc, is preparing to enter the Chinese mainland market, an achievement its parent company could not realize.

Less than a month after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Beijing to attend a high-profile business forum hosted by the government, a local newspaper reported on Friday that Oculus will kick off a VR online store as soon as this year.
