China Goes It's Own Way: And Takes Linux Along !

DVD? China's trying to do it one better -- with a technology called EVD.

CDMA? The digital cell phone standard is so 2003, the Chinese say. Give 
TD-SCDMA a try instead.

Intel's Centrino chip and Microsoft's Windows software? If you're doing 
business with Beijing, better bone up on WAPI and Red Flag Linux, too.

These days, China's dominant message is this: We'll embrace the world -- 
but on our terms. And nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of 
high technology, where behind the acronyms is a battle of standards that 
could have global repercussions.

Pushed by their government, Chinese firms are shunning technological 
protocols invented abroad and developing their own.
