So tell me what alternatives are banned in china, as far as business is concerned? western movies? venture capitalists? internet startups? stock markets? jeans? rap music? Have you ever been there to have such a strong opinion? People seem to enjoy so much of the fantasy of having a communist enemy. Those days are way gone, wake up!
Yes, there is no real freedom of press yet, there is no real election yet, but those are coming. The Confucius said thousands of year ago, people will learn to be polite when they have enought food and cloths. Political reform will definately happen. BTW, I am not so sure if you will like it when china becomes a full democracy, since people here care MUCH more about "america friendly" then real democracy in foreign governments? Any arguments to that?
Anyways, what does communism have to do with the discussions of technical standards and the greedy world of business?
"Communism cannot afford any kinds of rivals whatsoever, such is the nature of authoritarian regimes be them communist or otherwise."
It sounds to me that it is capitalism that "cannot afford any kinds of rivals." And it fights rivals simply by calling them communists:)
...it's because you can't do anything right...even when you behave exactly like a real capitalist.
Do you realize how brain-washed some of you are about china? You even live in a sociaty with free press:(
No developer with their right mind will use flash to develop applications today. This tool is for Movie makers:), not programmer. This is what Jeremy Allaire had to say about flash:
Programming Model. Today, building Flash applications requires a hybrid left-brain/right-brain skill-set. That's reflected in the nomenclature and workflow of the Flash IDE, which uses concepts like Movies, MovieClips, Timelines, Symbols, Layers, etc. in addition to classic software programming concepts like Components, Objects, XML, ECMAScript, and Web Services. Macromedia understands the diversity of developer types, including pure ISV-style application developers, and will surely deliver the right range of products to better optimize development workflow.

Or, use OpenOffice which exports presentations into flash directly.
