Youku, China’s largest video hosting site, has partnered with Disney to begin streaming the studio’s TV shows, said the company’s CEO Victor Koo.
Koo made the statements on Monday during a speech at China 2.0, a conference hosted in Beijing by Stanford University. Youku has also launched a beta version of a subscription service that will allow users to view certain content such as select movies and education videos.
