SubscribeMySpace China to Merge with MSN Live Spaces China (updated)
On the first day when Myspace launched it services in China, everyone asked a question whether Myspace will make it in China. Luo Chuan, CEO of Myspace China, said that Myspace would targeted at silent majority to compete with rivales. Besides it, it seems Luo Chuan has another powerful secret weapon: MSN Live Space China.
Donews reported that MySpace China will merge with MSN Live Spaces China. Luo Chuan, who used to be head of MSN China, will be in charge of the merged business. It is said the deal will be announced on July 26th.
What we can expect from this merge? At least, the merge shows that Myspace China is almost entirely autonomous from Myspace to make its own strategy, which is a good start to compete in Chinese market.
Update: I’m sorry that I haven’t noticed that according to a report in Sina, Luo Chuan has denied the rumor. So Myspace China will NOT merge with MSN Spaces China. Thanks Luyi for pointing out the news in Sina.

[…] Earlier this month, the influential Donews reported on a rumored a merger between MySpace China and MSN Live Spaces China–two entities headed, in succession, by the same CEO, Luo Chuan. Though talk of a merger was denied–how would that have worked, anyway?–CNet now reports (link via Sina, in Chinese) that MSN has confirmed it will take on MySpace China as a partner, with the new co-branded channel at msn.myspace.cn. Tangos Chan of China Web 2.0 Review, who first alerted me to this rumored merger, sees this as a natural step for MSN China: MSN China takes outsourcing strategy to build its Chinese portal, it cooperates with dozens of partners to provide various content and services to its users.
