SEEC Media deals looming

SEEC Media (HKSE: 0205), the Hong Kong business arm of China's leading, crusading financial title Caijing, is stepping out. Shortly after announcing that it would work with Ziff Davis to re-launch PC Magazine in China, the company is rumoured to be close to a deal with Time Inc. to publish Chinese editions of People and Sports Illustrated.

To add to the Alice in Wonderland elements which seem ever present in Chinese publishing, the SEEC Media titles which report on the financial derring do of China's listed companies are ultimately owned in Beijing by the Stock Exchange Council.
