Copyright expo puts spotlight on cooperation

At the China International Copyright Expo in Beijing last week, new online software designed for reading cartoons on cellphones was shown at Japan's pavilion - but the software was developed by Chinese high-tech firm Founder International.

Once installed, the program will enable users to log onto a website to read or download cartoons, said Sun Meng, a representative of the company.

Founder signed an agreement with Maruzen, a Japanese bookstore chain, and now has authorization to tap into its vast library of cartoon e-books produced in Japan, a powerhouse in the field.
