China is once again taking a nationalist stance on technology, this time, with its own PC and mobile operating system.
The goal: decrease China's reliance on U.S. software companies.
The state-controlled Xinhua News Agency reported the announcement on Sunday, citing U.S. surveillance as one of the reasons Chinese engineers are developing their own operating system for desktop computers and mobile devices.
The new software would compete directly with Microsoft (http://i.cdn.turner.com/money/.element/img/7.0/main/GlobalSp...">MSFT, Tech30) Windows andGoogle (http://i.cdn.turner.com/money/.element/img/7.0/main/GlobalSp...">GOOG) Android. It would be available to China's consumers and government personnel alike.
