In my opinion, China is playing a complex strategic game.

Technical standards are a very powerful tool of influence in today's world.  In some neighboring countries, even the railway tracks have different widths.  Through the establishment of certain technical standards, countries fight for their influence.

Probably, China plans to draw half of the countries of the world into its sphere of influence.

And in this half of the world there will be such phenomena as social rating, closed Internet, censorship and a ban on freedom of speech.
