China, Singapore Cooperate to Launch Literary Website
Chinese language websites from China and Singapore signed here a strategic collaboration agreement to launch a literary website to promote online Chinese literature on Monday.

The agreement was signed between Zaobao.com, the online version of Lianhe Zaobao, the leading Chinese daily in Singapore, and Shanda Literature Singapore(SDL), the leader of China's online literature.

The literary site will allow Singaporean readers to have free access into Shanda's online Chinese literature.

Zheng Wei, Online Editor of Lianhe Zaobao, said, "We are happy to partner SDL, the leader in China's original literature and copyrights operator. SDL has a competitive advantage in terms of business model, content and users. As for Zaobao.com, we have a wide audience reach and strong influence among Chinese readers in Singapore, Southeast Asia and the world. With this partnership, both companies will enjoy a boost in their business development."

SDL owns more than 90 percent of the resources in the literary field. SDL has already accumulated copyrights to more than 50 billion words of original Chinese literature including classics, novels and other e-books.
