AOL Re-enters China With Language Site

It is the day of retries…first CNET entering TV market again, and now AOL re-entering China, in a smaller way than before. AOL has formed a tie-up with China’s number two media company Shanghai Media Group, one of its first such pairings since it withdrew from the Chinese market in 2003.
SMG will provide material for a Chinese language version of AOL.com aimed at Chinese speakers in the U.S., through a partnership with U.S. firm MediaZone (part of Naspers), which is a partner in the AOL Chinese language site.
The initial focus will be on free products and services, but the companies hope to further cooperate to develop fee-based services in the future.
