It feels like every country (that is not the US) has a legend about how the X company could have been the next Apple/IBM/Microsoft if it weren't for evil/corrupt/incompetent politicians. Usually these stories fall apart on closer inspection.

Not surprisingly, this story doesn't pass my smell test either. It's very light on details. It also talks a lot about the thoughts in Bill Gates' head, but fails to provide any quotes to back them up.
