China mulling own OS to take on Google Apple Microsoft

Date:

Washington: China is reportedly planning to create a new operating system to compete with imported rivals such as Apple, Microsoft and Google.

According to The New York Post, there have been some rifts between China and the United States in area of technology. China is now looking to help its domestic industry catch up with imported systems such as Microsoft’s Windows and Google’s mobile operating system Android.

Ni Guangnan, who heads an official OS development alliance, said the operating system would first appear on desktop devices and later extend to smartphone and other mobile devices.

Guangnan said they hope to launch a Chinese-made desktop operating system by October supporting app stores. Some Chinese OS already exist, but there is a large gap between China’s technology and that of developed countries, he added.

Earlier, China reportedly banned the sale of Apple products to its government quarters and employees citing security reasons. The Chinese government expressed its doubts over American technology companies and has therefore excluded products from Apple family in the list of things that can be purchased with public money. The list includes, iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro, reported CNET. The list was distributed by China’s National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Finance.
