0 Comments | AFP, May, 2008

BEIJING (AFP) — Leading Chinese Internet portal Sina.com has launched an English news site, amid intense global interest in China following last week's earthquake tragedy.

"We have chosen to launch our English news site now as we would like to provide up-to-minute coverage of the earthquake for overseas people who are concerned about the tragedy," Sina president and CEO Charles Chao said.

"Over the longer term, we intend to make this site a window for international communities to have an easy access to China-related information and to have better understanding about modern China."

The site's address is http://english.sina.com.

Sina is China's most popular news and sports Internet portal.

The English site was launched late last week.
