With its main focus on major business events and developments, the English channel keeps close track of the vast changes taking place in the modernizing Chinese society. Major business stories are backed up by news analyses to help viewers understand the background of the main economic issues that China faces. The English channel also offers daily updates on world news and business, science and technology developments.

Among the news providers for the English channel are China Online, a prominent U.S.-based Internet media company focused exclusively on China, that signed a syndiaction agrement with SOHU.com last month. The Shanghai based China Interactive Times also provide news content to the English channel.

"I am very excited about the English service because it enables us to serve the English speaking community in Greater China and around the world. It is a window into China and, at the same time, into SOHU.com", said Charles Zhang, President and CEO of SOHU.com.
