PPTV (Chinese: PP视频) is a Chinese video streaming website. Its predecessor, PPLive, was peer-to-peer streaming video freeware created at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Hubei Province. The group of companies that runs the website was headed by Cayman Islands-incorporated offshore company PPLive Corporation. However, the actual operations were mainly carried out by Shanghai SynaCast Media Tech Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 上海聚力传媒技术有限公司).
History
A 68.08% stake of the parent company of PPTV, PPLive Corporation, was acquired by Shenzhen-based Chinese blue chip listed company Suning Commerce Group (now known as Suning.com) in 2013–14. However, the stake was re-sold to Suning.com's largest shareholder, Zhang Jindong's Suning Holdings Group in 2015, for CN¥2.5879931 billion.[1]
