Introduction:
On July 19, due to Microsoft's malfunction, it led to an Internet tsunami that swept the world, and at this time China said that everything was normal!
For many countries around the world, flights have been suspended, banks have been stalled, and even medical setbacks have been suffered. How did the mainland do it?
A global "systemic" crisis
On July 19, due to multiple problems dominated by blue screens in Microsoft's systems and some of its services, many countries and industries around the world were seriously affected.
All of a sudden, it was as if an information war had begun!
Fortunately, the cause of the problem was quickly identified as being related to the driver of the United States cybersecurity company Crowdstrike, and the possibility of a malicious cyber attack was ruled out.
Although the problem has been initially solved and a solution has been provided, this global system technical failure is still not completely improved, and will continue to affect many countries and industries.
And this seems to make public opinion think of more possibilities.
If this is a modern information war, then the impact will be far-reaching and terrifying, enough to make people think deeply.
It is reported that this incident has affected many industries, such as the aviation industry, which has received a great impact.
In the case of problems with the computer system, many countries such as the United States, Australia, Japan and Germany have directly experienced airport service interruptions, and even many flights have been directly suspended.
The rail industry has also been hit, with United Kingdom Japan rail operators facing unsolvable problems in obtaining location information, among other things.
The broadcasting and financial industries were also affected, with broadcasts and television broadcasts in the United Kingdom and Australia interrupted for a time, and the Australian government even called an emergency meeting as a result.
The banking systems of Israel, South Africa and other countries have directly led to the stagnation and suspension of settlement and other businesses.
Even many supermarkets are not able to do their normal work.
In today's increasingly modern world, this kind of systemic failure problem originating from the network can put a country into a "semi-paralyzed" state in a very short time.
But in such a situation, there is another big country in the world that has not been affected too much, and this country is China.
In this regard, the Hong Kong media "South China Morning Post" directly exclaimed that this incident shows the initial results of China's "de-beautification" strategy!
According to the Associated Press of Finance:
During the period of setback in the global aviation industry, none of the three major flights in the mainland have been affected, and the rest of the airlines have also reported that everything is normal.
There are also banks, high-speed rail and other service units and enterprises, all of which have said that they have not been affected by this incident? So how exactly does the mainland do it?
In March of this year, Continental adjusted its procurement standards for desktop and laptop computers.
According to the new standard, there are relatively clear requirements for the operating system.
The pre-installed system of the computer must meet the safety and reliability standards, and there are domestic systems such as Kirin, UnionTech UOS, and Zhongke Fangde that meet this condition.
It can be said that among the real service units, in fact, the Windows system launched by Microsoft has gradually withdrawn from the Chinese stage.
And in this regard, it is clear that the mainland's de-beautification strategy has played a key role.
After all, once an emergency like this one turns into a war attack, the mainland will not fall into a panic under such circumstances.
China's de-beautification strategy
So, just how strong is Microsoft's global "dominance"?
According to the data released by StatCounter, a well-known authority in United States in January, Microsoft's Windows accounts for 72.72% of computers worldwide.
It is still followed by Apple's Mac OS operating system, which is affiliated with United States.
It can be said that in the field of operating systems, the United States has achieved "one ride in the dust", and if the United States really launches an offensive from this, I believe that the absolute majority of countries in the world will be seriously harmed.
It's just that this data, in China, is not necessarily.
It is reported that data from StatCounter also shows that the proportion of the two major United States operating systems in the Chinese consumer market is about 75%.
It should be noted that this is talking about the consumer market, and it will be very different if it is replaced by the server field.
Microsoft's Windows accounts for only 20% of China's share of this item, while 60% is firmly within the domestic operating system.
China has always had its own "obsession" with the development of its own high-tech field, and this persistence has also made ample preparations for the possible information war.
What's more, the source of "de-beautification" in many aspects of the mainland is United States itself.
For example, in recent years, the United States has continued to encircle and block the mainland's chip industry, with the aim of completely leaving China behind in the international high-tech field.
But how did the mainland do it? After being suppressed by the United States, the mainland has ushered in breakthroughs in the fields of high-end chips and lithography technology.
On May 27, 2024, the news of the official establishment of the "National Fund Phase III" means that the layout of the overall industrial chain of the mainland semiconductor industry is about to usher in real improvement.
Immediately afterwards, on June 25, a news website in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province released the latest news of domestic lithography machines, claiming that there will be 1 domestic lithography machine factory landed, with an annual output of up to 100 units!
At the same time, in the mobile operating system port, data for the first quarter of 2024 was also announced.
It is reported that Huawei's HarmonyOS surpassed Apple's iOS for the first time in the Chinese market and became the second largest operating system in China.
Under the blind blow of United States, the mainland did not collapse because of this, but flourished day by day.
This is entirely because the mainland has always adhered to the line of independent development and has never relied on other countries.
On the other hand, those countries that rely on United States are not so lucky this time.
Taking United Kingdom as an example, according to the British media "Daily Mail": The NHS system of United Kingdom's medical services has been completely paralyzed, and many patients are unable to obtain life-saving drugs.
Even in the United States, there are problems.
According to a report by United States Television News Network on July 20, due to Microsoft's technical failure, the relevant equipment in the delivery room was paralyzed on the evening of the 18th, resulting in the safety of the baby could not be guaranteed.
It can be said that now with United States's deep control over global high-end technology and computer application technology, any active attack or passive mistake by United States will bring about a global disaster.
And among them, as praised by the Hong Kong media:
Perhaps only a country like China, which continues to strengthen itself and develop a "de-beautification" strategy, can remain standing.
End:
Although it has been determined that the attack was not brought by a certain country, it is enough to make people imagine that it is terrible.
At the same time, China's "self-reliance" just proves how wise the strategy of de-beautification is under the blockade of China's high technology by United States.
In the future, it is believed that the pace will accelerate, and the proudest operating systems, chip technology, and even the most high-end equipment of the entire semiconductor industry will appear in China one after another.
