If ever there were a time for either Blu-ray or HD DVD manufacturers to play a trump card, now may be the time, and this could be the one: A consortium of Chinese university engineers and government officials, in cooperation with a Chinese video standards group that includes globally recognized manufacturers, plus the DVD Forum, have come to an agreement on a standard specification for a blue-laser disc mechanism and format specifically for the Chinese market.

Way ahead of this guy's report : HD DVD has already set up partnership for a chinese HD DVD version (basically same as the US and European HD DVD with one small difference). In fact the same lines can be used for worldwide HD DVD player production and this chinese variation...

I think this guy was living under a rock...
