Thursday June 15, 9:20 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: StockHouse Media Corporation Qualcomm Senior Executive Gives StockHouse.com Exclusive Insight Into Tough Chinese Negotiation Tactics HONG KONG, June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In a candid interview with StockHouse.com, a senior Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM - news) executive suggested the Chinese government held wireless negotiations ransom with manufacturing contract demands. ``The Chinese government had probably seen the Korean example and wanted to replicate that,'' Anil Kripalani, Qualcomm's senior vice president of technology marketing and international administration told StockHouse. Mr. Kripalani said when Qualcomm was in negotiations with the Chinese government to expedite their agreement with China Unicom (HK.762) to develop a wireless network in China, authorities were more interested in seeing Mainland manufacturers increase their share of the telecom equipment market. Mr. Kripalani added, ``So, all along, the advent of this network had been tied to the enablement of Chinese manufacturers.'' This objective, according Mr. Kripalani, caused Unicom to scrap its original plan to build a so-called second-generation narrowband network.
