China and DVDs

Nathan Cochrane reports on the Chinese government’s reluctance to adopt the Western playbook on DVD formats.

For years, pundits in the West viewed China as just another emerging market to exploit. But the rising affluence of its middle-class and its own massive domestic market means China has a gravitic pull that threatens to tilt the balance of world trade firmly in its favour.

I’ve been thinking much the same about China of late … we in the West picture ourselves in the driver’s seat of global culture, but the world’s oldest continuous culture may be showing us how the future’s going to shape up.
