Recently, the Ministry of Commerce issued Announcements No. 61 and 62 of 2025. Careful netizens discovered that these two announcements are in WPS format.Prior to this, the official announcement documents were in Microsoft Word's default format of doc or pdf. This matter triggered heated discussions and even caused Kingsoft's stock price to rise by more than 18%.
WPS format is the exclusive file format of WPS Office, and WPS Office is an office software suite independently developed by Beijing Kingsoft Office Software Co., Ltd.
According to Sina Technology, Kingsoft Office responded: "As a domestic office software company, it is both a responsibility and a mission to maintain the security of user data and define office standards that are in line with Chinese companies."
Analysts believe that the Ministry of Commerce's choice of WPS format in important announcements not only reflects its recognition and support for domestic office software, but also highlights the advantages of WPS Office in terms of functionality and security. This undoubtedly injected a boost to Kingsoft and became one of the important driving factors for the sharp rise in its stock price.
It is reported that in order to better serve corporate collaborative offices, Kingsoft Office will upgrade its products in the near future and continue to create value for enterprise customers.
