China blocks foreign software use in gov't (CNETAsia)
Here's a
CNETAsia article on a decision by the Chinese government that
ministries must buy locally-produced software. "In addition to
commercial reasons for protecting local software, there are security
concerns. China is placing official support behind the Red Flag Linux
operating system, which they trust because the open-source code allows
officials to see that there are no data spyholes installed by foreign
powers."
