diaspora with their home countries. The latest partnership between

television programming, enabling viewers to keep a close eye on
what is going on in their hometown, meanwhile, the release of Great
Wall TV on KyLinTV Singapore will provide all Chinese residents
here who are interested in China with a better way to study the
Chinese language and discover Chinese culture."
KyLinTV president Duan Jianbing shared,
"Singapore has both high ethnic Chinese population and good
broadband infrastructure provides KyLinTV a good platform. As a new
payTV provider in town to reach out our target audience fast,
through the use of IPTV technology and strong Chinese contents, I
believe KyLinTV's many advantages, including its advanced
technology, the professional team, the excellent customer service
and mature marketing strategy, all combine to ensure that this same
high quality of service will be delivered to its new Singapore
subscribers just like how we delighted the North American and
European, while providing a bridge linking the members of the
Chinese diaspora to their hometowns. That's not all, KyLinTV would
continue to bring in new innovations and work with more channel
partners to offer more contents relevant for the multi-racial
society like Singapore."
According to Billy Tianbo Huang, General
Manger of KyLinTV Asia Pacific, Singapore will be the regional hub
and KyLinTV will expand into other countries with huge Chinese
populations like Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines,
Australia and Japan. "Wherever there are Chinese and the Internet,
KyLinTV will be there, " said Huang.
