China Online Launches English Language Portal for Global Audience

Shanghai, China (PRWEB) January 21, 2006 -- China Online has announced the launch of its English language web portal under the domain chinaonline.cn.com. The web portal enables Non-Chinese speakers throughout the world to easily find China specific information in one convenient location, effectively creating a one-stop internet destination for China.

Commenting on the launch of China Online, Carsten Geiser, Founder and Chief Executive said: “With the launch of China Online we are creating a new and exciting internet platform for China, one that meets the exponentially growing demand by people outside of China to understand what is happening inside of China.”

“We believe passionately in the power of communication and are looking forward to having China Online take on a leadership role in making China more accessible to millions of people throughout the world.”

“China Online offers users a multitude of content channels that focuses exclusively on China,” added Rizvan Malik, Chief Operating Officer. “China Online provides access to everything from China, including news, jobs, business, travel, entertainment and culture channels. In the past, much of the best information on China was only available in Chinese and unavailable via search engines like Google or Yahoo. With the creation of China Online non-mandarin speakers now have access to a wealth of information, resources and interactive content that thus far was exclusively reserved for a Chinese audience.”

For advertisers, the launch of China Online provides a highly effective promotion and branding platform. With more flexibility in media consumption and advertisers facing increased difficulty reaching their target audiences, China Online offers “China Service Providers” such as hotels and airlines the unique opportunity to advertise their brand, products and China-related services to its target global audience.
