Expat Corner: Portal aims to take China to the world

Another day, another Western website opens in China.

Only, unlike the plethora of Beijing- and Shanghai-based sites, which offer amusing oddities and petty gripes in English, Jongo is aiming at the bigger picture: a comprehensive view of China.

The people behind the website (www.jongo.com) took an opportunity in Shanghai last week to unveil their ambitious plans to make it a one-stop-portal for both visiting foreigners and those already living and working in China. The difference, however, is that Jongo hopes to cover the entire country.
