I don't know for sure… If the Chinese adopt the Japanese model of protecting the areas where they can't compete, and then competing where they can, they could pull it off. The biggest draw back I see, is that there is not any world class major buisness software for the Amiga. Networks for the Amiga are not at the level of the dos machines. All this infrastructure would have to be built to use the Amigas, or any non-standard format computer effectively in large businesses. However, if for some reason the government insisted on it, they would probably manage to create the software, etc. Funny the things you can do with a centralized government. (And a death sentence for disagreement… <grin>)
