(InfoWorld) - The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), a government-backed research institute, has teamed up with private industry to set up a lab that will develop technologies for online games. The CAS Institute of Automation, Shanda Interactive Entertainment, and Interjoy Technology will work together to establish the Digital Interactive Entertainment Lab in Beijing, the three partners said in a statement. The lab will be headed by Wang Yangsheng, who also serves as principal of the Online Game Strategic Project, a government-led initiative to spur the development of China's online gaming industry. Online gaming has exploded in popularity in China during recent years, initially led by offerings from Shanda. As competition has increased, a wider array of games has become available, including titles imported from the U.S. and South Korea. Many of these games attract hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users. Online gaming is expected to generate 9.7 billion renminbi ($1.2 billion) in revenue next year, market analyst iResearch said last month

(InfoWorld) - Google will open a research and development center in Shanghai, stepping up its effort to build a bigger search business in China. Google hasÂ struggled in ChinaÂ to create the dominance it enjoys elsewhere in the world. It took 19 percent of the country's search market revenue in the first quarter, compared with 57 percent for market leader Baidu.com, according to Analysys International, a telecom research and consulting company. A spokeswoman for Google in China, Marsha Wang, confirmed the plans for an R&D lab Friday. She declined to say how many people it will employ or provide other details. Google and its U.S. rivals, Yahoo and Microsoft, haveÂ faced political difficulties in China, for agreeing to censor search results. In addition, their services are sometimes hard to access from inside the country. Yahoo's Flickr division said this week that its service was being blocked in China. Â
