Engineering prowess that led to China's first personal computer

China is one of the SLOT XO
wealthiest digital economies today. with an unmatched hardware supply chain And prominent and hugely profitable conglomerates such as Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance dominate the world.

But all of these cutting-edge innovations are based on a 40-year-old solution to one of the big computing challenges: the development of Chinese word processing.In the early 1980s, China greatly expanded its purchase of computers from the United States and the West.

With only 600 foreign-made microcomputers imported in 1980 compared to 130,000 in 1985, companies in the United States, Japan and Europe cheered for this "liquor purchase" as one observer called it.However, there is a major problem for both Chinese computer users and potential Western manufacturers:

no Western-built personal computer, printer, monitor, operating system, program or anything else can handle Chinese character input or output. not early and the mid-1980s, and certainly not "out of the box" without a major overhaul. Mass-produced personal computers are effectively useless for anyone who wants to use Chinese.
