      Of course there’s nothing stopping them from developing their own OS - whether based on Linux or something else. I’d say though, whatever they use, it’s more likely to be open source than not.

      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.

      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.
