Now replace Windows with Linux, and fucking invest into not needing to use American-controlled CPUs as every single one of them contains a backdoor.

I don't understand why governments trust official matters in the hands of closed source software and suspicious hardware. Even China uses a special version of Windows 11 in public computers, this is nuts.

Ignorance, mostly. It's sad but Chinese leaders seem to listen to their experts, while EU leaders listen to CEOs, and of large companies only.
