August 10 early morning news, Ms. Lui Linghui, the Vice President of Government Strategies for Sun's Asia-Pacific region, expressed her stance in supporting China's document format standard UOF to Sina Technology, and criticized Microsoft's OOXML as a "patchwork".

Yesterday afternoon, Ms. Lui Linghui, who was recently promoted to Vice President, met with a small number of media outlets, including Sina Technology, and made the aforementioned statements. It is understood that since Academician Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering initiated the wave of opposition against Microsoft's OOXML, Sun is the first international company to publicly express its support.
