Bangkok-based Dongmeng Television is hoping to form an alliance of all of the Chinese-language TV stations in Southeast Asian countries.

Through the alliance, the stations could share resources such as jointly purchased copyrights and adopt digital and Internet-based technologies, said He Jiang, director of Dongmeng Television and deputy president of Sunway Media Group, owner of the Chinese-language station.

"Chinese-language media are minor market players in ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations). ... If we work together, we will become stronger," He said.
