Hmm. Linux is "foreign" software, at least from the standpoint that much
of the development did not occur in China. 

This could be a good thing, an impetus for open source, but it could be
also a bad thing - and just another way for the Chinese government to
monopolize the OS market and therefore put in backdoors to help track
their citizens' activities. Ironically, that's what MS and the Federal
Government want, albeit for different reasons (marketing & anti-piracy
in the latter, political freedom with the former).
