What's most amazing is those that claim the U.S. is driving this and actually benefiting more than the Chicoms.

Why thankyouverymuch! I am that target of your derision! Name me a single Chinese standard, interface, or platform that is developed by and for Chinese.

Guess how many of those systems have USB interfaces, DDR interfaces, Intel FSB's, etc? Guess how many of those peecees even have chinese keyboards? Do you have any idea how hard it is to send a mandarin/cannot-ese email to your office mate with a windows (pirated or not) platform? It's nearly impossible and they don't even bother. Koreans do, but I don't hear anyone bitchin about them.

It's easier to log in to FreeRepublic from Xiamen than it is to send or receive a chinese email.

Let's see, the Chinese are getting free advanced engineering training, factories built on their properties, jobs for their people, and you think you can bully them with "standards", especially as the biggest US employers in China like IBM are pushing for "open" standards? Read the article, they just blew us out of the water on overall tech exports and the difference between the two, just like our dependence on their overall exports, is only going to grow.
