Northforce: Long time, no hear. Welcome again. Hope that Minister Wu is motivated - nothing like keeping up with the "Jones" - in this case Japan - as a motivation.

But sadly, I saw no mention whatsoever of CDMA in his statement.

Must admit considerable skepticism on my part. Think he will be overruled or outflanked rather than show any personal enthusiasm for CDMA. He has a long history of putting every possible hurdle in its way.

But times do change.

And being behind Japan is bad, and being behind Korea is a clear loss of face. Unacceptable.

Best.

excerpt:

The deal would be an advantage for China United since it would give them fast-growing technology, said Mark Roberts, an analyst with First Union Securities.

The talks ``are more to do with China getting nervous that they are getting technologically behind the Japanese and Koreans,' Roberts said.

``It's strategically important for the Chinese government -- for China in general -- because CDMA is rapidly becoming the dominant technology in Asia, and we
believe that the Chinese fear that they will be falling behind technologically if they don't move forward,' Roberts said.
