You're wrong, just like always. Microsoft isn't giving software away to the Chicom government, for them to rename "Red Flag" and then sell throughout Asia without a dime back to the US. That's your beloved Linux, of course, thanks to IBM and Red Hat.

Stop spinning and lying. Microsoft gave the ChiComs access to the source code.


As part of its marketing campaign, ***Microsoft has donated software to state-run China Telecom and China's State Economic and Trade Commission.*** It has pledged to invest or donate $10 million to China's primary education. And it has offered to ***provide free Windows operating systems to government officials in Beijing for three years in return for its becoming an exclusive software provider.***
