        But china certainly wants to control what’s running on their systems.

        I mean, yes, that’s why ditching Microsoft and going Linux is the right move, they can create their own distribution and have complete control.

          There is ZERO proof that China does censorship to its products exported out of its country. Lithuanian military (puppet of Anglosphere) made a hoax piece that got annihilated upon a look at proofs they presented.

          China also was claimed to censor Winnie the Pooh, but you can search it on Baidu freely. Same goes for Mesut Ozil, the footballer. So, what is this evil bad censorship you speak of? Or is it censorship that somewhat makes sense, for example banning ISIS/ETIM terrorist propaganda, unlike how USA utilises The Atlantic Council for actual global censorship ignored by le freedom people?

              Tiananmen? You mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU ? Or this?

              picture (WARNING GORE AND TRAGIC)

              Hong Kong protestors? You mean those CIA/NED funded riots where Ted Cruz and Nancy Pelosi went to cheer rioter leaders? The rioters that bricked a grandpa to death, and burned and stabbed many people? The one in which HK police did not kill a single rioter?

              Liu Xiaobo? You mean the one who, just like Henry Kissinger, got Nobel Peace Prize as a trophy, just for being anti CPC? Sounds a bit edgy to me. I am sure that you would not want to disappoint 95% citizens that support their government, according to Harvard’s long term study. Does not sound like a protestor that is protesting for his people.

              About Peng Shuai, this will break it down for you. Western media machinery is known to fabricate stories and testimonies, just like North Korean ones. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/11/new-york-times-invents-sexual-assault-case-to-blame-china.html

              Remember the testimonies of that credible Yeomin Park, who takes $15-40K per fake podium speech? That stuff happens a lot.

        it would be both easier and more practical for them to use linux, if they wish to maintain competition on global market for software development. if they instead make their very own operative system, there would be compatibility issues and a lack of developers available to participate in the global market.

        They could make their own Linux-based system, completely ignore the license and not distribute the source.

    This should be a universal decisions. A foreign company should not have been allowed to siphon tax money for decades on a global scale. Especially considering a government funding is otherwise used in research and production that benefits us all. That most of us still let this happen in our countries is the greatest modern scam. Well that, along with the consumer computer windows tax, what happened with directx misinformation campaign, IE, etc. How governments didn’t distance themselves from microsoft already is a serious question. Especially considering how so many institutes are now stuck with proprietary windows XP exclusive software and unable to update. The security risk is absurd.

      And it’s a good thing for them, being less reliant on a foreign nation for their infrastructure is a good move. It doesn’t stop them from being pissed off when said foreign nations decide to avoid Huawei for their telecom infra.

      Here’s one from 2022, in with only 20% of government computers still use Windows. This article also only mentions government computers. I say it’s very possible that the government has fully switched to Linux. I tried daily driving Deepin 20 once and the only major problem was that most of its packages were very outdated.

    Anyone familiar with Chinese politics + technology want to chime in on how likely various levels of Windows ditching is to happen?

    EDIT: This is from February 2020. Have they made any progress yet?

    I look forward to seeing Deepin’s progress when it is adopted as standard in China.
