As revealed Gao Zhigang, Head of No.1 Division of the Government Procurement Center for China's State Organs, the hardware products procured by the government must be preinstalled with homemade operation and application systems. Special application must be made in accordance with the relevant management regulation upon the approval for the installation of foreign software if it is necessary. The point of departure of the regulation is based on the information security and supporting the development of domestic software industry.
