21st Century Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, has sold its 47 percent stake in the Chinese television company, Star China TV.
21st Century Fox had owned a majority stake in the television firm, but sold that in 2010 to China Media Capital.
The deal is interpreted as a move away from China for the Murdoch empire.

The company operates three Mandarin-language television stations.
Ruigang Li, Chairman of China Media Capital, will now take full control of the television company.
