I wish the chinese just used RISC V. They are using open source software anyway, why not use open hardware? I remember watching a video from CGTN about their new RISC V processor that runs Linux, with performance near i5.
They’re probably looking at it and trying, but it’ll take years to ramp it up to where ARM is, it’s the decades of toolchains and support and libraries around ARM and x86 that are sticky.
China already has a bunch of RISC-V chips in the works, but that takes time. Meanwhile, their MIPS chips have been around for 15+ years at this point and have high availability.

But anyway, The Russians better follow GPL

For anything new or interesting, they (and many others) are. But Loonsoon exists today, which is probably what Russia wants.
Most of China supersuper maker are using RISC V. For desktop, China will not intervene too much. China like competition, x86, ARM, RISC V, Loongarch.
