Bloomberg: Netflix is said to be in talks with a Chinese media company backed by Jack Ma and other possible partners as it seeks entry into the country’s $5.9 billion online video market. Netflix reportedly has held discussions with companies including Wasu Media Holding Co. about forming a partnership. Netflix plans “to be nearly global by the end of 2016,” a spokeswoman said in response to questions about a possible China partnership. Entering China would allow the broadcaster of “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black” to take advantage of what’s forecast to be explosive growth in online television in the nation of 1.4 billion people.
