China Mobile Joins the Linux Foundation

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the global-marketplace dept.

eldavojohn writes "As a gold member, China Mobile has joined The Linux Foundation putting it next to AMD, Google, HP and Cisco in the roster of the foundation's gold members. This marks the very first time a Chinese enterprise has joined The Linux Foundation. Earlier this year, we saw the first Chinese company openly participate in open source and now China Mobile, ranked 77th in the world by Fortune with over half a billion customers, has joined the foundation that fosters the growth of Linux."

    In before Americans spinning this as somehow a bad thing, bla bla communism, bla bla Obama health plan.

    Forget Communism, China out-capitalisms the US by a wide margin. And I doubt their health provision for the poor is too good either.

    Observation: Go to any story on Slashdot these days, and just reply with the words "bla bla communism, bla bla Obama health plan" -- you will be modded up. I've gotta try that...
