Chinese language media to meet

The China Digital Times reports on plans for a September meeting in Wuhan of the World Overseas Chinese Media Forum. Efforts continue among many companies such as Singtao News Corp. to link together a network of Chinese language media around the world. The idea is that, as China's power continues to grow, such a group would have the potential to become a News Corp. or Dow Jones of the late 21st (or even 22nd) Century.

Continued restrictions on foreign ownership of media in the biggest Chinese language market of them all - China - makes the potential for realising this dream still some way off. But, you can be sure that they will keep trying to put the pieces together.
