RFID Tags and China's Approach to International Technology Standards
February 24, 2004


Posted by Kien Leong

...
So, when China emerges as both a massive market of technology users and a powerful source of technology providers, many vendors fear that the government might wish to pursue a protectionist strategy and cut itself off from the rest of the world.
...
These fears are understandable from the view of vendors wishing to maximize their market. However, it is totally reasonable for China to want to adopt standards that Chinese companies have helped to develop. In most cases European and North American vendors and users have had a head start in developing the technology. It makes sense to build on this work and not try and reinvent the wheel. However 3G technology continues to be plagued with technical problems and operators are struggling to make to business work. And Wi-Fi technology providers were very slow to plug the gaping holes that allowed anyone with a laptop and adapter card to access corporate wireless networks from the street.

So, China's government is right when it says it wishes to ensure that these technologies come to the market with a proven performance. From their point of view, if this gives Chinese vendors the chance to catch up, so much the better.
