<<<China also made a hack version of CDMA which they tried to shove down furriners' throats. >>>

Beijing was wary of adopting Qualcomm's CDMA technology which would have left its mobile phone infrastructure at the mercy of the US Department of Defense. CDMA uses the DOD-controlled satellite network to synchronize its base stations. Neither W-CDMA nor China's home grown TD-SCDMA have this disadvantage.

IMO China is getting tougher on USA (and USA is getting tougher on China). Both countries are flexing muscles for the coming fight for the limited natural resources.

BWT, the existing WiFi security protocol -- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a joke. It doesn't work. It can be easily cracked by anyone. So it doesn't surprise me that China wants some better security protocol in place before WEP is widespread there. This is one of the advantages of a central planning state -- you can mandate to do the right stuff.
