In any event, different circumstances apply today. Now they KNOW everything that runs through Windows is forwarded to the U.S. government. That should leave them no choice but to adopt a different OS.

in general chinese have a strong belief in big brand names and distrust in locally made products. so even if the government is well meaning in its intent, it will have to work hard to get people to change.
