OpenKylin is already starting to be implemented on government systems and private companies all around China.

It's pretty funny how they're trying to characterize a Linux distro as independence from Western tech. The closest we've gotten to that idea is TempleOS, not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.

    not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.

    Did you check their open source repository to see if this is true or are you just repeating liberal propaganda?

    I'm repeating liberal propaganda because I'm a CIA plant, Communism would be thriving if not for us. Happy now? Validated?

    I'm guessing there's no proof to back this up.

    Of course there's not. It's a reflex: China → malicious. It doesn't require evidence and, since it's not normally questioned in daily discourse, the person saying it seemingly never questions whether it makes any sense to make such a baseless claim.
