My personal opinion is that no deliberate weaknesses were introduced.
More likely there might have been a Chinese image at some level that
they would run the CA for all the WAPI certificates, at least those used
in China.

The whole WAPI situation is much more complicated than the secrecy or
openness of the SMS4 algorithm. For the view from IEEE 802.11, see
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/WAPI/wapi-documents.html.
Generally speaking, China seems to like 802.16 (WiMax), which is based
on the cell phone model
