One has to question that, when the technology is so important to Ericy, why did Nokia, Mot, Bosch, Samsung not go after it. And has the Chinese ban on "new" internet investment some negative impact on Zi? The ban on foreign investment officially has been on the books for years, but was widely ignored by the government and Chinese startups that aggressively courted investment from U.S. companies and venture capitalists. Last Tuesday, Information Industry Minister Wu Jichuan told reporters during a news conference that China would begin enforcing a law prohibiting foreign ownership in Internet service companies, saying the government needed to strengthen its control over information content. That means that there are fewer possibilities for foreign (non-chinese) companies to profit from any development within China.
