Wang JianzhouSilicon Hutong wonders why Wang Jianzhou, the president of China Mobile, suddenly gave an interview to Fortune. While the interview brings no news in itself, the fact Wang is talking is already special.
There are probably a host of reasons for Wang to raise his profile, but one of them has to be a desire to buy for China Mobile greater independence from the fickle whims of regulators in Beijing.
