All Points Blog links to a China Economic Net article on the importance of home-made GIS software in China. From the article: "
China's domestic GIS software has blown the bugle call for domestic software to break through. At present, the market share of most domestically produced software accounts only about 5 percent in such fields as operating system, database, and office software while domestic GIS software outshines all the others in the market of GIS software with a high proportion of over 35 percent, thus having broken the monopoly of foreign software in that field."
