The People's Republic of China government is supporting an effort to develop own standard for compressing digital audio and video, to assert its technological independence from the rest of the world. State-run media quoted industry officials are saying the aim is to enable domestic companies to avoid using the dominant MPEG standards, which require royalty payments. The competing Chinese standard, known as AVS, will be proposed as a national standard in 2004.
