China: U.S. Is in Wireless 'Conspiracy'

The agency promoting China's wireless encryption standard has accused a U.S. engineers' group of waging a conspiracy that led a global organization to reject the Chinese system, the country's official news agency said Monday, according to the AP.

"China made the accusation in its appeal against the International Standards Organization's decision in March to reject its encryption system, known as WAPI.

Wireless encryption helps protect the privacy of wireless Internet users in places like coffee shops and universities.

China has been trying to promote its own standards for mobile phones, wireless encryption and other related fields, hoping they will give Chinese companies an advantage in promising industries."
