According to Bloomberg, China intends to stop using computers and operating systems of foreign companies in government agencies and state-owned enterprises within two years. It is expected that the initiative will require the replacement of at least 50 million computers of foreign brands, which are ordered to be replaced with equipment from Chinese manufacturers.
According to preliminary data, the regulation will not apply to difficult-to-replace components such as processors. Despite the development of its own chips in China, most Chinese manufacturers continue to use Intel and AMD processors in PCs. It is recommended to replace Microsoft software with Linux-based solutions developed by Chinese manufacturers.
After information about the Chinese government's initiative appeared, shares of HP and Dell, which occupy a significant share of the Chinese market, fell by about 2.5%. While shares of Chinese manufacturers such as Lenovo, Inspur, Kingsoft and Standard Software, on the contrary, increased in price.
