The purpose of this paper is to detail the extent of computer activity in mainland China: hardware, software and endues, and to examine the ramifications such activity has with respect to the USA. Much of the information is based on the authors findings during a recent mission to China. The message is that China possesses a burgeoning computer industry, but one which is at our own 1965 level. The ten years of Cultural Revolution anarchy are responsible for this backwardness. However, Deng Xiaoping, Chinas present leader, is determined that China will take its place with industrialized nations. This means increased opportunity for the US computer industry and the prospect of economic competition in the computer arena.
