Our brand and logo
Our market brand is the Chinese word ‘Tantao’ with a meaning of: to discover or to explore. We chose Tantao as a way of conveying our belief that to be fully conversant and knowledgeable of world events and issues, as well as to have insights into the beliefs and mores of other societies, one must be open to going beyond the known and immediate familiar cultural sources and stereotypes.
Our logo reflects our New Media/Digital orientation to the distribution of this Chinese-themed content in reaching broader market audiences throughout the world. It also embodies our objective to break down the traditional walls that have long undermined understanding between China and the rest of the world.
What is special about our news?
Our news sources provide unexcelled coverage of all aspects of China, including its economy, markets, foreign relations, culture and entertainment happenings, and technology development. With China assuming a larger role in world affairs, access to this news is critical to understanding the dynamics behind China’s policies, decisions, and directions.
As other international news agencies are scaling back their operations, the major Chinese news organizations are expanding. Also as relations between the advanced economies and developing countries shift, historical alliances become strained, and security and peace are threatened by emergent forces, Chinese news organizations stand ready to provide first-hand coverage, often being the only ones due to the access afforded these organizations–because of China’s universal standing and acceptance among all global communities.
