The New York Times has announced that they are working on launching a new edition of their website aimed at web users in China.

This edition would be in local languages of China and would focus on delivering “high-quality coverage of world affairs, business and culture” to web users in this market.

The company added:

The goal of the new site is to provide China’s growing number of educated, affluent, global citizens with high-quality coverage of world affairs, business and culture. The site will be edited specifically for readers in China, presenting translations of the best of The Times’s award-winning journalism alongside original work by Chinese writers contributing to The Times.
