Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry'
Ubergrendle writes "The Globe&Mail is reporting that Chinese telecom company China Unicom Ltd. is launching a new wireless device unapologetically named 'Redberry'. This comes in the wake of an almost 2 year regulatory delay blocking the introduction of RIM's Blackberries to mainland China. Certainly this delay was convenient to China Unicom, if not deliberately staged to allow for domestic competition."
How horribly misinformed. What a horribly uneducated comment. Stick with what you know, like computers or something else nerdy. Leave International Politics and Forigen Cultures to people who have at least 1 cent of an idea what they are talking about, and have spent a wee bit of time understanding what it means to be a "Communist" and what China really is today (And guess what? It aint communist)
Yeah, sure, China _the_country_ was waiting for RIM to run out of money so they wouldn't get dragged through some foriegn courts. I bet they were really afraid of that.
In real life, the American trademark / patent system can do little if the Chinese government decide not to be bound by it. You think China _the_country_ is going to end up dragged into a Canadian court and punished? Sounds a little silly to me. It is, after all, the Chinese government that decides on Chinese policy, not the western courts.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're a middle class American white male, aged less then 30, you've never left your country of birth and can count the ammount of times you've left your state of birth on one hand. Why do I say this? Well, the evidence came from your belief that the American corporate legal system runs the world.
