China has always been playing by their own rules in everything (human rights, anyone?) and piracy is a HUGE problem there. HUGE. I don´t have any official figures or anything here, but I doubt that even DVD is be making "real money" there (due the piracy and other issues - many people are still quite poor), let alone CH-DVD (or whatever the name is).
If (?) you somehow try to imply that China will "save" HD DVD (via CH-DVD) and eventually keep the dead format alive, you´re sadly mistaken. Hell, CD-DVD might have some success in China (it´s a huge country, after all) - but China alone. E.g. US and European countries will start ordering their films in China now, just because they "miss HD DVD" so much? That´s one serious pipe dream.
I can see the news-story:
Headline: "HD DVD fans moving to China"
Quote: "It´s a place where we can have some peace! Evil corporations can´t touch us there! Just us, CH-DVD and everlasting harmony. For us, HD DVD never died."
(okay okay, bad joke.. )
