It could be the quality of other's software, we have higher standard however.

No, I am NOT asking "the information" about ths GB18030 standard. I am asking the GB18030 standard ITSELF. None of them show me THE GB18030
standard ITSELF from google. All of them show me the INFORMATION about GB18030. Since I work on supporting standard for years, I only trust
the standard itself these days. Tell me any link you can find from google which point to THE GB18030 standard. I really hope you can give
me one. Sorry, I am really a picky guy about standard. See too many false information and interpretation in the past....

Kennth gave me a direct quote from the paper copy of the standard he had, which is what I need.
