Foxlink reportedly plans to team up with Funtalks China Holdings, a China-based retailer and distributor of wireless communications devices and content, to venture into the handset retail market in China, according to industry sources.

Foxlink declined to comment on market reports, but stated that channel sales will be one of the major focuses of its future development and will announce any new investments accordingly after projects are approved by its board.

Foxlink has developed its channel sales since 2009, including the establishment of Studio A to handle sales of Apple products.
