China wants to rid itself of Western tech by 2027 -- outlines domestic alternatives in 'Document 79'.


The Chinese government wants all of its state-wide institutions to get rid of Western technology by 2027.

The WSJ reports that China is on an extensive push to drive out Western tech companies from the country and replace them with domestic alternatives. China reportedly started its domestic expansion in 2022 with a highly secretive "Document 79," an initiative focused on deleting Western tech companies from the country. This trend has only increased since then, meaning the vast majority of the Chinese tech market is now dominated by domestic solutions.
