Searchina is a Japanese company predominantly involved in the business of information and news distribution relating to China. Its website covers Chinese stock market information and various China-related information, such as politics, economy, society, IT, finance and regional news, in addition to information on Japanese stocks, emerging markets and Asia. The corporate name is a portmanteau of "search" and "China". OutlineMasakazu Motoki (端木正和, as known in Japan), originally from Fujian Province in China, left a trading company he was working for in Japan and opened a news portal site on June 4, 1998, with the name "China Intelligence Bureau", the former company of Searchina. Searchina Co., Ltd. was established on September 1, 1999. In July 2008, the 10th anniversary of the site opening, the site name was also changed from the former name "China Intelligence Bureau" to "Searchina", to match with the corporate name. Searchina contracts with China News Service (CNS) for news distribution. The site is well known as the biggest China information site in Japan,[1] covering the Chinese economy and Chinese stocks, and as of March 2010 utilizes 440,000 monitors of Chinese wealthy people and consumers in Shanghai for internet research and promotion. The company played important roles in the Japanese market for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Shanghai World Expo. In recognition of those exchanges between Japan and China, a Chinese governmental organization awarded Searchina, along with Toyota, OMRON, Panasonic and KYOCERA “Outstanding Contribution Award for Promoting China-Japan Newspaper Exchanges” (Association of China-Japan Newspaper Business Promotion). In April 2009, Searchina entered into a tie-up with Dow Jones Japan in order to jointly extend information service offering to Japanese financial business operators. In February 2010, SBI Holdings, also a Japanese investor in Wall Street Journal Japan and Morningstar Japan, acquired Searchina as a subsidiary company of SBI Group. The corporate name and services of Searchina will not be changed for the time being.[2] Company outline{{cleanup|reason=Needs to be either converted to infobox format, or placed into paragraph prose|date=June 2014}}
