| The United Daily News, a major Taiwan newspaper, has launched its online news service.
Planning for udnnews.com began toward the end of 1997, and construction of the Web site commenced on October 16, 1998.
Much of the content of the Web site will be drawn from the eight newspapers which the United Daily News Group owns worldwide.
According to Yih Shing, general manager of Internet operations for the newspaper, the Web address purposely lacks a country suffix because the site aims to serve Chinese-speakers throughout the world. Yih believes that udnnews.com can, in time, become the biggest provider of Chinese-language information in the world.

In addition to news articles, the Web site will feature online polls, reader comments and chat rooms.
