Problem with the Chinese strategy is that they don't have any content.
I think you mean that they don't export any content. There is a huge amount of domestic video being passed around in China (Chinese movies, music videos and concerts and TV programs). Of course, since the rest of the world doesn't speak much Chinese, most of this content stays at home.
Also, because of the mass producing pirates pushing prices down, very few legit DVDs are available. Most content is distributed in the form of cheaper-to-produce VCDs.
I see this new format as China's attempt to improve their video quality while not greatly increasing the cost of production. They probably don't really care if the rest of the world jumps on board. There are 1.3 billion domestic consumers.
I think you'd need a really clever bit of procession to capture the room dynamics. With the echos involved, it would certainly be more than just using an FFT to get a transfer function
The effort doesn't stop in the classroom. Beginning Friday, public service announcements are being released to approximately 5,000 theaters nationwide, profiling people in the movie industry and arguing that digital piracy threatens their livelihoods.

And what about when they find out one of their employees has a framed certificate that says "Master of Science"?
That's exactly right; -30 degrees C in a stubble field on the prairies. Absolute humidity of approximately zero.
On a few nights, you could hear them making a crackling sound, keeping time with the visuals. It was one of the most eerie things I've experienced.
Anyone else heard the aurora?

Actually, I'm surprised that "The Great Firewall of China" hasn't blocked Slashdot already.
Yeah, I think the author may have read Darrell Huff's "How to Lie with Statistics", my favourite reference to slip into technical papers.
