China has released its first homegrown open-source desktop operating system, named OpenKylin, state media said, as the country steps up efforts to cut reliance on U.S. technology.
Released on Wednesday, and based on the existing open-source Linux operating system, China's version was built by a community of about 4,000 developers, and is used in its space programme and industries such as finance and energy, they added.

"A bunch of Chinese people made a Linux distro"
"CHINA MADE A LINUX DISTRO!"
big difference
"The hive intellect of the Far Orient has produced an assemblage of code resembling human operating systems"It isn't quite like that, though, cause China did actually give universities and alike grants to further constructing a distro which is suited for needs of people not wanting to rely on commercial OS and also focus on usability for Chinese population. Which is not that hard, but a few UI/UX things are good. If I recall correctly it started with FreeBSD around 2000.

I love how a dialogue box pops up if you are half way through a line and want to click somewhere else to copy or check something. All just to tell you that you haven't finished the line. Thankfully there is a setting buried somewhere to turn that off.
I just hope it paves the way for greater OS OS dev communities in China, but it’s definitely not a CPC innovation like the headline portrays
you cannot trust Chinese open source software because they could’ve hidden zero day vulnerabilities and we, the superior westerners with superior technology, simply cannot detect it before using itThere's also a laptop with it preinstalled coming out soon that has a RISC-V cpu and Imagination GPU.
