Nintendo has a very bad history in China due to widespread piracy.
They recently praised the US government for doing more to crack down on China's government for promoting and allowing Piracy to run rampant through their nation. China is responsable for the piracy of millions of games and the loss of millions upon millions of dollars in software sales.
If you look at Nintendo's history in China they released the I-Que I believe it was called. That console required consumers to go to a legit Nintendo retailer and have the game burnt to a cartridge directly from Nintendo's servers. This made piracy a little more difficult and the fact that Nintendo used cartridges further complicated matters for pirates.
The Wii however is far easier to pirate and in China people are so used to buying cheap pirated products they wouldn't likely support Nintendo or any company in the matter who tried to charge them the regular rate. Do to the security breach in China Nintendo will likely hold off all together or come up with a new I-Que idea to try to prevent piracy. Maybe a Wii with a 160-gig hardrive where all consumers are forced to buy games from Nintendo's online store rather then inserting a disk!
