Shanda, an online games developer run by Shanghai billionaire Chen Tianqiao (Èô≥§©Ê©ã), disclosed on Feb. 18 that it acquired control of Sina Corp after securing a one-fifth stake in the Chinese Internet search engine by buying shares on the open market. Both companies are listed on the US’ NASDAQ market.
