So, essentially Beijing is saying that "authorized" CPUs for use by locals are now mostly ARM, with a little space for Risc-V and just one or two low-end x86 processors. All stuff made in China, so goodbye Intel and Amd and so on. Approved OSes: three linux local distros.

This reminds me a little of when Russia pushed for a wider local adoption of Elbrus SPARC processors to balance western embargos of x86 CPUs.

Let's see what happens now.
