Germany's Bertelsmann looking to take on China not America

By SDH German media giant Bertelsmann may be getting out of America if and when they sell off their book businesses and their 50% stake in Sony BMG. But they are getting into China even more. The company via its pan-European TV division RTL Group, has acquired a 16.5% stake in production group-ad agency Ad Society But the purchase seemed to have been approved after RTL issued public apologies through it's German channels and its news web N-TV for misrepresentations of the unrest in Tibet and Nepal. Bertie really has no love for America huh! Bertelsmann has long been exploring the Chinese market and in 2005 inked a joint venture with the Liaoning Publishing Group to launch Bertelsmann China Direct Group to sell books in the country.
