New Website Launches Video Channels to Introduce 'the New China' to Americans, Other Western Countries

DALLAS, Sept. 18 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ChinaOnTV, a digital media and communications company, has launched a new website which offers westerners a one-stop site for free online information about China, all in English. The website is a gateway to China for the English-speaking world, with its many videos, articles, news and travel reports. The website can be found at http://www.chinaontv.com/ .

"We are unique among information sites, with our eight (8) video channels online. Our new, feature-rich site demonstrates our commitment to our audience. It is a testimony to our goal of being the leading online destination for Westerners to learn about China, particularly the new China," said Mr. Yong Shen, President and CEO of ChinaOnTV.

The website is designed to launch video in the viewer's web browser. The video channels include 'BizWatch' -- current China business development and interviews with prominent, 'Getaway' -- travel videos from around China, 'Lifestyle' -- current feature stories from Shanghai, 'Documentary' -- films by award-winning Chinese documentary makers, the 'BizNews' channel -- up to date Chinese economic and business development news, the 'Expat' channel -- featuring stories from foreigners living in China, a 'Learning' video channel -- featuring Chinese language, Chinese cooking and Kung fu martial arts, and 'Enjoy Taiwan' -- featuring videos of travel destinations around that dynamic, beautiful island.

"We want to provide practical, useful information for westerners in this new era of China's emergence. China is now the fourth-largest global economy. Many people in the West think of China as it was 30 to 60 years ago, or they have a gap in their perception of China's people and their history. We think our site will promote cultural understanding and personal relationships, as well as business and leisure travel," Mr. Shen said.

The website's coverage is extensive. There are thirteen major categories of content, with articles on dynastic times and space travel, inventions and performing arts, agriculture and world trade, rickshaws and auto factories, fishing villages and skyscrapers, classic opera and movies, ancient football and the 2008 Olympics, as well as today's expatriates in China, gay life in the major cities, and many more. The practical information includes travel to China and within China, business protocol, how to get visas and work permits, and what to see and do when you get there. An information and anecdote-rich expatriate area on the site lets foreigners living in China share their stories and give advice. This is invaluable to the novice traveler and would- be foreign workers.
