Incidentally, I think the following sentence from the Wikipedia introduction is misleading / untrue.
China uses GNU/Linux with its Loongson processor family
to achieve technology independence.
It reads to me like a statement that Linux is widely used throughout China, whereas my understanding is that use of non-Microsoft OSs is basically negligible in China[1]. Perhaps someone who knows more than me about this area would like to remove it.
