Software Firms Court Government Users
2005-2-2 10:10:51      CRIENGLISH.com
Chinese software firms are donating free copies of software to provincial governments in western China, as a move to win more government users and improve their image.

Vice-president of the WPS Office unit of Chinese software company Kingsoft Ge Ke says his company had signed agreements with governments in the Tibet and Ningxia Hui autonomous regions, and Qinghai Province.

In October, Kingsoft, the most famous Chinese office software provider, donated 8,000 copies of its WPS Office software, worth almost 5 million yuan, or 604,000 US dollars, to the Tibet Autonomous Region's government.

It also gave 8,400 copies of WPS Office to the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region's government in December.

Talks with the Qinghai provincial government are currently underway.
