China understands this better than we do, and is willing to use all means, fair or foul to achieve this. Recall how they rejected established standards for CD/DVD to establish unique China standards for these services to provide a walled garden for local development.
What? Maybe I am missing or misunderstanding something.
My wife is Chinese and I have been traveling to China almost yearly for the last 25 years (although not since covid) and all CD/DVD drives, players and disks I have seen or bought there are the same as in western countries.
China pretty much skipped the VCR phase and went directly to the CD/DVD which were more prevalent in China than in America 25 years ago.
