As US-China relations deteriorate and sanctions are put in place
Summary: Diplomatic tensions between China and the United States grew this year; GNU/Linux also grew this year in China, from about 1% to over 4%, according to one Web survey which claims to assess logs of 3 million sites
“No less than Bill Gates himself said in a recent Fortune article that Microsoft competes better against Linux in China when there's piracy than when there isn't.
“So, Microsoft actively looks the other way as people pirate its software. It builds its market share that way, and lets people get used to the idea of having Windows at a certain price.”
