In a move that will have China-technology watchers shaking their heads in disbelief, American video website Netflix bravely plans to enter the Chinese market independently without cooperating with local companies.
Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix, also said that the company plans to promote the Chinese-made content to the international market.
