CHina has learned the need for its own financial rules, likewise..

You mean the PC vendors outside of CHina. well as of now, China is not producing much any components either. No significant design/production of CPU, chipsets, memory, harddrive..

So they have nothing to lose by having different standards .

No, they got everything to lose. Nobody would buy them. In Japan back in the eighties and nineties, they tried making the own standards of PC like NEC PC98, MSX game machine, and yet another PC standard I forgot the name but Canon was using it. Nobody bought them outside of Japan and eventually no one bought them inside Japan as well.

If trhe government stamps out the new standards then the domestic market will have to buy, and a chain reaction of spawning of new industries .

Japan tried that already with their celphones and now the world market leaders is Nokia and a couple of South Korean companies.

CPUs, memory and chipsets are just money losing business now. There was standards before, but it was Taiwan who conquered them. Remember IBM, they tried the Micro Channel Architecture bus as a slot standard back in the early nineties. Taiwanese manufacturers, we prefer to follow PCI bus. From then on, Intel realized that if they didn't Taiwanese manufacturers onboard, they can't help set any standard.

Taiwan is the real superpower when it comes to PC production.
