Confirmed: NY Times Is Launching A Site In China Tomorrow, With No Paywall

Screen shot 2012-06-27 at 13.13.53Earlier today we posted a story about what appeared to be a new direction for the New York Times: a Chinese-language news site, and a blogging account with Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. The New York Times has now confirmed its move into China and the authenticity of both. The Weibo account now has over 10,000 followers, and the site will be kicking off on Thursday morning, Beijing time.According to the statement from the NY Times we've just received, the site will be launched as a beta version. "The site will grow in scope and functionality over the course of the next several months," the statement says. A spokesperson has confirmed to me that it will sit outside of the paywall.
