Development of computers in China was started by its Institute of Computing Technology in late 1950s.Since then China has made a few experimental computers.Currently,commercial production is essentially limited to ATs,286,386 based machines.In addition,the research institutes produce some special purpose compute systems (eg.for scientific calculation) for different institutions.These systems typically are not produced on a commercial scale.Recently the Institute of computing technology produced a min-super computer with vector processing capability.
However the import of hardware is very liberal,and most institutes and universities have imported mainframes/minis/workstations.Most major computer manufacturers have offices in Beijing for processing orders.
Software Technology
China also has its eyes set on the global software market,and chinese govt.is trying to develop the software industry.They also seem to be acutely aware of India's effort in this direction.There are a lot of institutes and companies involved in software.However,the domestic software industry in only a few years old.Most of the R&D effort is geared towards adapting or enhancing Unix (eg.Unix kernel has been modified to accept some commands in Chinese),developing language interfaces for Chinese,and CASE tools.Much of the work is in developing software for users.Even here,the projects are typically not too large.
