This is the Not Invented Here syndrome in the large. This is
soooo uneconomical that if anything, it could set the Chinese
economy back 10 years. On the other hand, they do have a huge
(captive?) domestic market...

(shakes head) And here I thought Beijing’s iron curtain was starting to rust. If the Chinese won't produce $30 DVD players that play nice with established standards, there is a long line of 3'rd world countries with emerging markets that will be happy to oblige.

A very interesting strategy. If Chinese people have Chinese electronics that only communicate using Chinese protocols then incompatibility will limit their exposure to "corrupt" western culture.
