Two of the biggest country markets of the world, Japan and China, are on their way to develop a next-generation mobile phone network for the Chinese market that paves the way for Japanese phone makers. The Chinese cell phone infrastructure is still mainly based on 2G (Japan turned 100% 3G just a few weeks ago).
Japan’s Prime Minister Taro Aso is expected to meet the Chinese Premier and President tomorrow. The plan is that both countries jointly develop 3G and 3.9G services, mainly aimed at optimizing video file transfers. Another (rather unofficial) reason is to fence out carriers and hardware makers from America and Europe, making sure the huge Chinese market stays under control of Nippon and China.
There are 100 million cell phone users in Japan, but that number is dwarfed by the estimated 600-700 million people owning a mobile phone in China.

I like this.It is called strategic planning.I guess next stop will be to fence India and the whole region.
Makes sense, sort of. Chinese phones being mostly low-end with some high-end (mostly HTC, Lenovo, etc) while Japanese phones are mostly high-end with a little low-end (hopefully SE starts bringing JP-market phones to China instead of the stuff they sell in Europe/US). Something for everyone.
Since when was China’s cell market under Japanese control. Nokia and Motorola have dominated in the pre-smartphone, pre-3G muck. China Mobile dominates the telcos. No Japanese companies in sight. Samsung and LG are big. Apple will clean up with the iPhone if they can launch the thing there.
