China Daily, China’s national English-language newspaper, had Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qu Yingpu ring the opening bell at the NASDAQ Stock Market at 9:30 a.m. EST on Feb 23rd to mark the launch of China Daily’s U.S. edition. The event marks another milestone for China Daily, which is leading the way for Chinese media companies to expand their networks in North America and provide dedicated services to this key market. While on her first trip to Beijing as top diplomat, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also congratulated China Daily on launching the U.S. edition.

Joining Qu at the podium was David Wicks, vice president of NASDAQ OMX.

“The US Edition is focused on meeting ever-increasing demand for information on doing business with China,” says Qu. “NASDAQ’s community of technology, business and finance is the perfect place to celebrate this launch.”

Targeted at North American businesses and observers of China’s changing economic, cultural and political landscape, the U.S. Edition will feature reports of local events related to China in the U.S. It will also have analysis and opinions from American and Chinese thinkers and business leaders, and personal profiles of noted contributors to China and America’s growing understanding of each other.

That’s mostly PR speak – and translated from Chinese thought to Wall Street-ish, as well. Still, China Daily is a useful, accurate, journalistic source.
