Looks like Siemens is trying to get TD-SCDMA adopted by arguing there is no license fee. I am skeptical that the Chinese will fall for it. Unless China wants a system that the rest of the world can't use (for political-social reasons), I see little benefit in TD-SCDMA. China's interest is in getting production levels of infra and subscriber equipment high enough to be able to export. Having a separate standard does not promote, imho, that interest. Because of the size of its domestic market, China would be better off to use the standard cdma2000, get its production levels up, and use its labor and other cost advantages to take a large share of the world-wide handset market. I just don't see how a third standard helps.
