MySpace comes to China

The New York Times reports that News Cor­po­ra­tion is bring­ing MySpace to China as a start-up ven­ture. The ven­ture will be headed by Luo Chuan, who man­aged MSN’s China portal.

MySpace China hopes to sur­pass over 100 com­peti­tors in the Chi­nese social net­work­ing mar­ket. The default first friend for these MySpace users will not be Tom — it will be a Chi­nese friend.
