123RF has announced a partnership agreement with Zcool, mainland China's renowned creative designer platform for graphic designers. Designers show their work on Zcool and there is a degree of sharing of the work.

http://www.123rf.net.
“We are delighted to have Zcool on board with us, representing and operating 123RF in China. The microstock business in China is rapidly expanding, making this partnership a good opportunity for us to introduce our Royalty-Free microstock content to the Chinese market.” says Stephanie Sitt, CEO of 123RF. “With Zcool's experience and strong footing in the creative community, we are confident that we have selected the ideal partner to represent 123RF China. This partnership brings our microstock business to a whole new level, broadening our business presence in Asia,” added Sitt.
Both 123RF and Zcool are making a difference in creating a legal and safe commercial platform for contributors to upload their intellectual property. The same platform also provides an avenue for clients to reliably download copyrighted content for a low license fee. All commercial content available for licensing on 123RF.net have been previously checked for model and property release information, making it safe for commercial use.
Zcool is well-known in China for its efforts in championing intellectual property protection, anti-piracy and enforcement to protect all original artwork and photography from being used illegally. Rampant piracy has been a problem for the stock photography industry in China due to the high prices for image use. To counter this, 123RF consistently offers the latest high quality content at affordably low prices.
