This Distro is for the Chinese market meaning for use within China, and is an official flavor recognized by Canonical. So any worry of "Chinese spyware" shouldn't be too much of a concern.
The reason why the system is so Windows like (using a fork of MATE) is because most personal computers in China still run Windows XP or 7, and with a big focus in China trying to get away from big western companies like Microsoft the creators of Kylin (pronounced chillin) are trying to keep the interface as familiar as possible to help the transition away from Windows.

This distro look like Windows 10, most in taskbar and the top of windows. Also this distro come from China, isn't it?

Linux Scoop, can you make a review of kubuntu please? Thanks!

[MrDazas]

Seriously? Pre-installed wechat and default Chinese localization in some system apps? You must be joking.

*Edit:*
It is apparently a separate Ubuntu flavour for the Chinese and thus there are "the quirks" I pointed out above, albeit this is justified, I think the audience of this channel is not targeted by the flavour and it should be noted.

Am I the only one who clearly sees this desktop as a full-on Windows 10 port? Really?

I thought Trinity desktop was the only one trying to go for the full remake, but now these guys too?
