China Releases Own WLAN Security Standard
Lownewulf writes "This NetworkWorldFusion article describes the release of the GB15629.11-2003 wireless networking standard in China, a wireless standard similar to 802.11, but with better security. The IEEE is worried that this may lead to the need to support two different standards in wireless networking hardware." ziggyboy adds a link to CNET's article, noting that
"all wireless devices sold in China are required to comply to this standard from December 1."
What's there to be concerned about? That it threatens your mighty country mayhaps? This is the IT age and every country has their rights to advance. And what has human rights gotta do with this? Isn't U.S. the country that murdered America's native Red Indians?

The real way around this for the United States and the EU is to cultivate technical excellence among their own citizens-something the current corrupt governments and corporate elites are hesitant to do.
All of the major refcent technical achievemants have been done in the US and Europe (and to a certain extent India.) Sure a lot of these people are Chinese emigrants but China has only attempted tp copy work that was already done to add more restrictions on personal freedom. In the free world, you can write open source software as an alternative to restrictive corporate software. In China, you'd probably be shot in the head of you wrote software that was a freer alternative to Red Flag linux.
I cant stand with your little nationalism brain,what do you concern, eh? Is it a bad thing that other have gained any achievement?The world is ours,not yours!
