Looks like US sanctions to shut down Chinese tech industries are working about as well as the War on Some Drugs worked to stamp out drugs.

China uses a variant of PAL, but it's largely irrelevant these days. It's all 1080i or 2160i for broadcast, with slight variations in colour gamut.

I know, it's daft that we still use interlace for broadcast. I'm sure there's some legacy reason for it, probably too do with the analogue equipment.

8k is doing okay in Japan, and it's not interlaced.
