ITALKI HK LIMITED 2604 CC WU BUILDING 302-308 HENNESSY ROAD WANCHAI Hong Kong The British has returned Hong Kong to China, a special region for at least 50 years. It is not a communist owned company.

Hello... I just came across your question by chance and thought I should advise you to look at the information on the website about the website and people who run it. At the bottom of each page is a complete range of information about the website and a section called 'About.' Under that is 'About italki' (http://www.italki.com/static/about.htm)- a page that gives information about the history of the site and the names of the people who run it. It says it was started in Shanghai. It was funded by the founders and 'angel investors' (see below). There is a tab on the 'About' page called 'Contact' that gives contact details including a Hong Kong business address. It is an independent language-learning and social network and not owned by any big corporation such as Google or Microsoft. Business people own it, but surely it's greatest influence is the many, many people like you and I who use it! Is this what you wanted to know? Best wishes, Martin (an italki user in England). Explanation of angel investors from Wikipedia: "An angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity."

They say it's the communists.

italki administration Who is impolite, how? Anyway there's russian saying "there is no family without a freak"

I mean everybody who is on that side proplably wants to improve English or other language and propably people who want to know other nice personality. The Company is in charge of italki. But I think that an internet is something like a window for the world, but we should stay careful like everywhere.
