Curated top news from 150+ high-quality sources served up to Sinophiles, Chinese living abroad, experts, business people and China-curious audiences around the world
NEW YORK, June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today SupChina launched a news platform and website (supchina.com) featuring the respected Sinica podcast, curation of top news from more than 150 high-quality sources, original essays and articles, and work by a renowned photographer.
"As China remakes the economic, political and cultural orders of the 21st century, understanding this complex nation is more important and challenging than ever. SupChina serves that need," said Anla Cheng, SupChina's founder and CEO.
The New York-based media company features apps, a newsletter and a robust social media presence to connect with the hundreds of millions of Sinophiles, Chinese living in other countries, experts, and China-curious readers and listeners around the globe. On all of its platforms, SupChina will provide a clear-cut, thoughtful and comprehensive way to keep up with and understand the top business, political and cultural news about the nation.
"China has been a huge part of the global economy for years, but now we're seeing its influence reach more deeply into the cultural fabric of the world, prompting many questions about the intersection of the nation's creative industries, history, hopes, politics and business activities with those of other countries," said Amedeo Tumolillo, SupChina's editor-in-chief. "We're thrilled to take on these questions with a comprehensive and nuanced resource for China watchers."
Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn, founders and co-hosts of the popular Sinica podcast have joined SupChina. "We've been doing Sinica as a labor of love since 2010. We're thrilled to become part of a dynamic media company with the same focus as our podcast," Goldkorn said.
