--- Mit seinen eigenmächtigen Standardisierungsversuchen im Hightechbereich sorgt Peking für weitere Unruhen in den Handeslbeziehungen mit den USA, weiß die New York Times. As China moves to expand its own technology industries, the government has taken unusual steps that are leading to new trade tensions with the United States, according to Silicon Valley executives, trade experts and United States officials. These measures include efforts to develop Chinese software standards for wireless computers, the introduction of exclusive technology formats for future generations of cellphones and DVD players - even tax policies that favor computer chips made in China and sold in the Chinese market. Es geht einerseits etwa um eigenständige Verschlüsselungsprotokolle, die den US-Geheimdiensten im Magen liegen würden, andererseits ums liebe Geld.
