China has taken a significant step towards reducing its dependence on foreign technology by ordering government agencies to stop using Windows 10 China Government Edition. According to data from Bloomberg, the Ministry of State Security of the People’s Republic of China has mandated the transition to Chinese Linux distributions like Kylin OS and UOS (UnionTech OS based on Deepin).
The move to switch to homegrown operating systems is part of a broader strategy to replace foreign technologies with open solutions developed within the country. This shift is expected to bolster China’s digital sovereignty, reduce reliance on products from foreign companies, and enhance data protection.
