China to standardize on UbuntuChina to standardize on UbuntuPosted Mar 23, 2013 8:33 UTC (Sat) by paulj (subscriber, #341)In reply to: China to standardize on Ubuntu by ovitters Parent article: China to standardize on Ubuntu
Highly unlikely. Most Chinese have nothing to do with the government, and will just keep using Windows. Even in the improbable event that the Chinese central government ordered everyone to switch to Windows, it'd be unlikely to happen - they have trouble enforcing even basic traffic laws (or more to the point: getting regional authorities to take traffic laws seriously).
Finally, the Chinese government is NOT a monolithic entity - far far from it. This sounds like one department, in one ministry, in central government, thinks Linux is a good idea and wants to help improve it for Chinese needs.

I think that you are absolutely correct.
The Chinese government is humongous, and this is just some project in who knows what kind of department.
The apparent department is the China Software and Integrated Chip Promotions Centre (CSIP). I cannot find a single link on Google about this organization that is not connected with the Canonical announcement.
This isn't going anywhere.
