The Chinese government will replace the entire current Windows computer system for security reasons

According to a report by AFR, the Central Office of China recently issued an order requiring the Chinese government and its affiliated agencies to replace the entire computer system (including personal computers). is running on non - developed software and operating systems in the next 3 years.

It is not difficult to see that Windows will be the name of the 'purge of mass' after this decree is implemented because it is almost the most commonly used operating system on public computer systems in most countries in the world, not just China. In addition, the decision was also considered a `` heavyweight '' response to the United States after the administration of President Donald Trump issued a series of harsh sanctions on China's largest technology corporation. Huawei, which has regulations banning US businesses from cooperating as well as using Huawei's telecommunications network technology and infrastructure, caused billions of dollars in damage.

The Chinese government is required to replace 30% of devices that are running 'foreign' operating systems by 2020, 50% by 2021, and the remaining 20% ​​will be 'completely resolved' in 2022. According to calculations of data analysis firm China Securities, it is estimated that 20 to 30 million Chinese hardware devices will need to be replaced to ensure the security standards set out in the guidance of the Security Law. The network was issued by this country in 2017.

Replacing and converting the entire current Windows PC system to 'domestic' operating systems like Kylin OS is certainly not going to be easy, but Chinese officials have reason to do so, one of which is. are security issues.

China has previously considered Linux a choice, and to save the image, Microsoft in 2017 even offered a version of Windows 10 specifically for the Chinese government. However, that is not enough. 'The ongoing U.S. sanctions against Huawei for more than a year have made the situation irreversible,' said Paul Triolo, an analyst at Eurasia Group, a consultancy.

Private businesses - which bring Microsoft huge revenue in the world's most populous market - will not be affected by the decree. However this can completely change at any time.

The tit-for-tat trade between the United States and China risks creating a serious crisis in the tech world, while significantly reducing the size of development that has helped stabilize the price of public devices. Technology for nearly 2 decades.
