Why has Linux Become so strategic? Why is Linux so important in China?

In the face of problems reported by IT168, Jim Zemlin said that at present, Linux is ranked first in the embedded field, and the super computer field is also leading in Linux. Linux and Microsoft Windows account for half of the servers, while Microsoft is leading in the desktop field. We can see that Linux has excellent performance in most fields.

Of course, we should not only look at the current digital performance of market share growth, but also some reference data in the future is the most important. Jim Zemlin added. For example, in the stock market, the stock market is a future index, and investment is to invest in the future, rather than to invest in the past. In the past year, from the same point of view, the value of RedHat has increased by more than 50%, but Microsoft remains unchanged.

Jim Zemlin pointed out: "China is a powerful manufacturing power. For China, the next stage is software. China has the opportunity to create a super experience that people have never imagined through software, to meet the needs of the Chinese market and foreign markets. Linux is the only software platform with such great scalability, and Linux is the only platform with controllable intellectual property rights. This is a great opportunity for China.

Jim Zemlin also said: "We can see a trend in future development. Linux can not only control today's world, but also certainly control the future world, the most important thing for us is how to use Linux to help us create an astonishing software economy.
