Few hardware vendors have not yet launched their own mini laptop (or, "netbook"). Most brands these days produce their own version of the same hardware, with Intel's i386-compatible Atom cpu's and Windows XP installed on a spinning hard drive or sometimes still a solid state disk. Some Linux models are still sold by some vendors, among whom Asus, which more or less started selling in this OLPC-inspired genre of laptops.

If the Chinese government had half a brain they would have simply bought a controlling interest in Via, and used the Nano as their platform.
Get real. The Taiwanese government would never allow the PRC to buy control of a Taiwanese company as important as VIA.
