To improve the effectiveness of our distributions, while also providing more accurate trade information to journalists, PR Newswire Asia will use the new trade categories for mainland China from February 1st, 2010. The most notable changes are that the original Finance trade circuit has divided into four trade categories -- General/Business, Banking/Insurance, Funds/Financial Management and Investment and Financing, while the previous IT trade circuit will divide into several more focused sub-categories -- Internet, Semiconductors/Electronic Components, Consumer Electronics, Software, Hardware, Online Gaming and Telecommunications.

Please see the below table for a complete list of our revised mainland China trade categories:
