"Sounds like the Chinese are already doing what Europe ought to be moving towards: open standards without patents that need to be licensed. After all, it's in European companies' best interests if their technologies lie at the heart of Chinese open standards: it means that they can sell products into that market more easily. The benefits of doing so far outweigh any nominal loss of claimed licensing revenues.
