Formerly known as the video operation center of China Telecom (SEHK: 00728), E-Surfing Media is currently the only online video operation platform owned and operated by China Telecom. China Telecom is one of the three major telecom operators in China and had more than 343 million mobile subscribers in total in June 2020. We firmly believe that this will be a win-win cooperation for both parties as we will be able to reach China Telecom’s huge user base to achieve rapid promotion, and E-Surfing Media will be able to further enrich its video content and thus enhance the user stickiness of both its own platform and the third-party platforms that it operates. We expect that this kind of cooperation will continue to bring us stable revenues and provide a strong impetus for our performance growth.”
