I just read an article on MSNBC.com [www.msnbc.msn.com] that discusses with some FUD, a move by the Chinese state and manufacturing industries to attempt to corner the media market and claim control over the licensing of media technologies.

Now of course while I see the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) in the article since it fails to identify how they will satisfy the requirements of the rest of the world, I certainly see it being something in line with the Chinese government's practices in the past.

I fail to see why it is better to adopt a pattern of isolationism and "my way or the highway" tactics. Manufacturing remains one of their only strengths and if they won't build it, I'm sure we can find someone else who will. The price may be higher but you have to play ball evenly or you won't be invited to the game.

I see no value in EVD. Nor in handing over control of media technology to the Chinese government.

Thank you for reading this post which would be likely to get me jailed in China.
