The Chinese have a long term strategy. We don't.

It makes sense to me. I wouldn't want a potential enemy to supply software to our nation. You want to run Chinese code on our government boxes?

No but I dont want their IC's in our computers either yet we allow it. I dont blame China for doing this (or care for that matter) I blame the Republicans for allowing more one sided 'free trade' to continue..

Knock. Knock. Hello Mr. President? Uh, got any tariffs in mind to counter? No? Just asking.

And the article starts with China putting a quota on the number of domnestic goods to be sold, I think the Chinese just want to be a superpower more than we do.
Thank you Republicans for selling out America to China, its a crime for Clinton but ok for Bush..

Sorry pal, too late.
Most of our rare earth magnets are now sourced from China, given that the plants that made them here got purchased and the work moved over there.
That's just one example.

Who cares what THEY want?
It's pretty obvious that They care what They want. They have a responsibility to do what's most beneficial for their nation. It's a shame our politicans don't govern so wisely.

It's a shame our politicans don't govern so wisely. Our politicians have zero control over whether the Chinese download Linux from some European website. What matters is, Linux was not a good choice for them but until recently, and possibly because IBM illegally took Unix technology and put it in Linux, making state of the art software available to them without paying for it and completely outside of US jurisdiction. You may be comfortable with that, however many aren't.

The manufacturing sector is another story. We have nobody to blame but ourselves for not protecting American industry. The Chinese are making politicans run local code. Considering the backdoor potential in foreign owned software I don't blame them a bit

If you mean the SCO code, that appears to have been over rated. Linux is willing to remove and replace it with independent source code.
