The Edge set to launch China weekly

HONG KONG - Southeast Asian business weekly The Edge is set to launch a Chinese publication, in a move to capitalise on what it sees as a gap in the Chinese market.

The Edge Media Group is planning to launch a new English language weekly covering greater China, including Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese business.

The new publication’s headquarters will be in Hong Kong, but it will also operate from offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei.

The Edge currently publishes in Malaysia and Singapore. The company’s China title is expected to launch in the latter half of this year.
