China is building a GitHub alternative called Gitee

Chinese companies might have established a firm grip on internet services for consumers, but many fundamental technologies undergirding hardware and enterprise software remain in the hands of Western companies. As tech businesses become increasingly entangled in broader geopolitical disputes, their users and clients are feeling the heat. Huawei's plan to unshackle imported chips is just one oft-cited example of the vulnerability of Chinese firms dependent on foreign tech.

Gitee is clearly confident there is space for a "Chinese alternative" to GitHub.

"An open-source ecosystem can't be built overnight. It's a process of building a tower with sand. We have faith in the innovative power of Chinese developers. We also believe in our perseverance and strength to strive."
