China Frustrated In Encryption Talks
mikesd81 writes "According to an AP article, the Chinese are pushing for the encryption standard called WAPI. It's not going so well, as the majority of countries are taking the IEEE standard 802.11i. From the article: 'An international dispute over a wireless computing standard took a bitter turn this past week with the Chinese delegation walking out of a global meeting to discuss the technology. The delegation's walkout from Wednesday's opening of a two-day meeting in the Czech Republic escalated an already rancorous struggle by China to gain international acceptance for its homegrown encryption technology known as WAPI. It follows Chinese accusations that a U.S.-based standards body used underhanded tactics to prevent global approval of WAPI.'"

Hey,
At least this Christian country, called the USA, which you so obviously despise, doesn't shut Google down for an entire two weeks without explanation.

What are you, a terrorist or something? What do you have to hide so much? If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.
You whiny liberals complaining about Terrorist Surveilance and PATRIOT act are making me sick with your terrorism and traitor-ism. Let me tell you, you don't have any privacy when you are dead!
Why do all liberals hate America so much?
Goddamnit! Lets not let the chinese have any say in any encrypting of anything! Only us here in the good old US of A have the competence to make such systems!
