China's Rural Information Highway Launched

China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), known for its charitable "Project Hope" to help poor students, launched a new project Thursday to lead Chinese villages into the Information Age.

Sun Fuling, vice-chairman of the National Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, attended the launch of the project at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Under the project, 10,000 rural electronic information centers will be set up in rural towns in three years, according to Xu Yongguang, secretary-general of the foundation.

Xu urged local enterprises to donate computers, disc-antennas and decoders of satellite television programs to the rural information centers. Meanwhile, he noted, that CYDF and local audio-video publishing houses will sell their products to the centers at cost prices.

The ceremony was jointly sponsored by the foundation and the city government of Wenzhou, in eastern Zhejiang Province.

According to an official from Wenzhou, the city will invest 20 million yuan to set up over 300 such centers.
