China Tech Roundup: Fans of Hu and Wen, online games and MP4 Players

• Kongzhong has released its role playing game "Tian Jie Online" on China Mobile's Mobile Online Game Platform, the first of three mobile online games to be released on China Mobile's new game platform.

Taobao hopes to curb this by blocking the search engines.

• Luo Chan, previous head of MSN China, who is currently working as CEO for MySpace China will resign. What the consequences for Myspace China will be is hard to tell, but this page has some interesting points.
