BEIJING, Nov. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China.com, a
leading Internet services provider in China and a Hong Kong listed
subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ:China), today announced it
has launched a new service, v.china.com, that allows people to
watch video clips from that site. The v.china.com site differs
itself from the other video sharing websites on its content, which
comes from self-developed or co-developed video films or authorized
pieces provided by contracted partners. This approach addresses the
copyright issues which has long plagued the video sharing industry.
In filming the programs for v.china.com, China.com used a series of
films to explain current news with humorous language. One program,
for example, is called the "Straight Show" which is similar to the
"Daily Show" starring Jon Stewart. One program's DJ is the popular
"Sister Lotus," who became famous in China via her S-shape
self-shot pictures. "Crazy White Collar" is another show about the
lives of Chinese professionals. It is directed by Mr. Li Feng, an
editor of numerous films by Zhang Yimou. "We are leveraging TV
programs from our content provider partners to provide our users
with rich choices of videos," said Xiaowei Chen, Ph.D., executive
director and chief financial officer of China.com. "We also
partnered with original and exclusive grass root video producers.
In addition, we are discussing with our partners on the commercial
potential of this content and opportunities like
advertising-sharing and mobile value-added services. With 3G's
arrival, exclusive and user-generated content, especially videos,
will play important roles on not only web portals, but mobile
platforms as well." About CDC Corporation The CDC family of
