I mean yeah I don't think Chinese companies are going to have crowdstrike installed given that it's essentially a rootkit controlled by an American company. It'd be like American companies installing Kaspersky or Xuexi Qiangguo.

I doubt that this move has made them much more "safe and controllable", it just means that they depend on a different system. I mean as soon as a bug pops up in their software the rest of the world will be fine.

Beyond China. This incident reminded of a post by WineHQ on the danger of software monoculture.

China takes alot of crap from Western MSM. But the accusation that it suacks at IT, so much, would consider using WindowsOS is a low blow

Whenever see a Windows box i say, grandma gets a smartphone. Regardless who i'm talking to. Believe it!
