China has released its first open-source desktop operating system, OpenKylin, state media reported, as the country steps up its effort to cut reliance on US technology.

The Linux-based operating system was built by a community of about 4,000 developers, and is now used in China’s space programs and many organisations in industries such as finance and energy, the media said.
