From my limited checking, most of the text and images on Hudong seems
to be copied from other websites: news sites, government sites, the official site of the subject, etc.
They have managed to make an interesting user interface though, a working WYSIWYG wiki.

Yeah:
"total of 3,050,203 entries, 3,270,000,000 words."
If the translation service I just used is giving me an accurate feel, it seems a bit more facile than the wikipedia right now, and even less well referenced and less accurate. But it's got more articles, and it's still pretty new.
The Alexa traffic rank is a 'healthy' 281,588 though ;-) but I don't know how accurate Alexa would be for a chinese site though, it's possible Alexa isn't used much in China which would skew the statistics.

In fact they may have broken 3 million but I can't read
全球最大中文百科由全球1,016,360位网民共同编写而成。共计3,050,203词条,32.7亿文字
and I'm not totally certain their definition of article is the same as ours. Still I think we need to get a clearer idea of what is going on at Hudong.
