    Seems like a sensible policy.

      My guess would be Kylin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylin_(operating_system)

    I’m actually surprised it took this long. I’m continuously puzzled by how governments around the world don’t appear to take seriously the potential risks associated with depending on all this computer technology from USA - especially given the track record of the US government when it comes to the abuse of information technology.

    The article only says the replacement tech should be ‘domestic’. Presumably domestic Linux distros could satisfy that requirement for the OS, but I only really know about Intel and AMD in the CPU space. Does China already have viable domestic alternatives or are they going to focus resources into developing something new?

      I very much agree that having domestically developed hardware and software is far safer. For most governments this is simply not an option since only a handful of countries are capable of developing their technology stacks. I imagine in case of China, this must be a huge undertaking given the size of the country. It’s definitely better to do it sooner than later though.

      China does have a number of domestic designs based on RISC-V architecture, and they also have their own Linux distro that’s already being phased in since 2022
