Wednesday said its unit in Greater China has entered a global

digital distribution partnership with Chinese entertainment

company TF Entertainment.

"Targeting markets outside Mainland China, TF Entertainment

will leverage UMG's global distribution capabilities and

marketing network, to further elevate C-pop's prominence on a

global stage," the world's biggest music label said in a
