Times to launch free Chinese-language news site

 The New York Times will begin a free news site in Chinese and has hopes that the government in China will permit it to be accessed by Chinese citizens. The  Times says the server will be outside China for whatever that may be worth. Content will be an amalgam of NYT translations and original material from Chinese contributors -- about 30 items a day in all. According to the Times the site is called cn.nytimes.com but frankly we have to think that catchy name will be superseded by another. New York Times
