This showdown could turn out to be interesting - China is supposedly demanding access to source code before allowing the sale of products in China:

The Chinese government plans to introduce a new system requiring foreign firms to disclose secret information about digital household appliances and other products starting from May, sources said Thursday.
...
If a company refuses to disclose such information, the Chinese government plans to ban the firm from exporting the product to the Chinese market, as well as bar production and sales in the country, according to the sources.

This is more about firmware than about general software, but - given China's reputation for piracy, I wouldn't expect this to pass by without a fight.
