o News Corp.'s Murdoch to Launch
MySpace in China
New York - News Corporation chairman and CEO Rupert
Murdoch plans to launch the company's MySpace social networking
service in China, the Financial Times reported. The Chinese MySpace
offering would likely be a 50-50 joint venture with local partners,
in part so that the site can be localized for a Chinese audience,
and also so that local partners can deal with any complaints from
authorities. "We have to make MySpace a very Chinese site," Murdoch
said at a media conference organized by Goldman Sachs. "I have sent
my wife across there because she understands the language."
Murdoch's wife, Wendy Deng, is not a News Corp. officer, but is
working in the country with senior News Corp. executives on the
MySpace launch -- for which no date has yet been announced.
