OpenKylin is already starting to be implemented on government systems and private companies all around China.

    It’s pretty funny how they’re trying to characterize a Linux distro as independence from Western tech. The closest we’ve gotten to that idea is TempleOS, not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.

      I can’t imagine that baked in spyware would go unnoticed in an open source OS.

      I’m guessing there’s no proof to back this up.

        Of course there’s not. It’s a reflex: China → malicious. It doesn’t require evidence and, since it’s not normally questioned in daily discourse, the person saying it seemingly never questions whether it makes any sense to make such a baseless claim.
