A significant breakthrough has occurred in China’s software industry with the launch of the country’s first open-source desktop operating system, openKylin 1.0. This pioneering move demonstrates China’s ability to create its indigenous operating system, filling existing voids in this sector.
Led by China Electronics Corp (CEC), the country’s premier state-owned comprehensive electronic information enterprise group, a consortium of Chinese firms developed openKylin 1.0. The group comprised of more than ten software companies, including the China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team and Kylinsec Technology.

The release of openKylin 1.0 is set to enhance the domestic operating system’s evolution and upgrade. Its impact will be far-reaching, securing critical sectors like government affairs, finance, communications, energy, and transportation. By providing reliable foundational software services, openKylin 1.0 is poised to bolster the nation’s IT industrial chain.
Foreign labels, such as Microsoft Windows, Google Android, and Apple Mac OS, predominantly influence China’s current software operating system industry. However, with the introduction of openKylin, the landscape is set to undergo a significant change. The new open-source system is designed to operate on a variety of hardware devices, including computers and mobile phones.
Last year, CEC revealed openKylin, China’s first desktop operating system developers’ platform. The introduction of openKylin 1.0, therefore, marks a notable progression in the country’s technological capabilities, bolstering China’s status as a significant player in the global software industry.
