Xunlei Unscathed in Crackdown

Netease Tech, 12/10/09

Luo Weimin, COO of Chinese P2P online video and download accelerator provider Xunlei, has said that the shutdown of domestic BitTorrent sites will not affect operators such as Xunlei, which has the required business licenses. He also said that demand for online access to television shows is not slackening, and that a large-scale shutdown of BitTorrent sites will help to boost the popularity of online video sites, including Xunlei's.

Luo said that Xunlei's download volume is currently stable, and has shown neither an increase nor decrease.

Beginning in December, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) began to order the shutdown of several well-known BitTorrent sites, including BTChina, Ximo, Longman, and Kaishen.
