An English-language website was launched on Wednesday by the China Disabled Persons' Federation, with assistance from China Daily.

The website will enhance international communication and act as a window to the world for China's 85 million disabled people, said Zhang Haidi, the federation's chairwoman, during the launch ceremony.

Zhu Ling, the publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, said the China Daily media group will use its expertise in communication and brand influence to build the website into one that provides the latest news and updates on the federation, as well as information about the services it provides.
