China is developing its own operating system similar to Microsoft Corp's Windows for personal computer makers and national defense, said Bloomberg News on Friday, citing reports from a local newspaper in Shanghai.

According to the report, the operating system will be developed by China Standard Software, a Shanghai-based company.
