China sets telecom limits

Article Abstract:

China has directed its state telecommunications firms to acquire local and has prohibited new foreign ventures to manufacture GSM-standard mobile-telephone equipment in the country. The move was designed to reduce imports and boost China's domestic economy. The new regulation is likely to peeve telecommunications companies that have yet to establish a major presence in the country.
