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.

But anyway, The Russians better follow GPL

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.
