My personal opinion is that no deliberate weaknesses were introduced.
More likely there might have been a Chinese image at some level that
they would run the CA for all the WAPI certificates, at least those used
in China.

One unspoken issue has always been whether or not the Chinese government
has deliberately sabotaged the spec, presumably for domestic espionage.
Is there any evidence of that?
