    And often, people think open-source = free, which is not. It still bound by a license form of some sort. And I won't be so sure if China is completely out of ways with RISC-V. After all, US. did manage ban Github from some of the middle east country, they certainly hasn't reach that point with China yet.

        Google must play the game,

        The ban was stupid in the first place.

                      The way Huawei advertises Kirin series is roughly in line with the way Samsung advertises Exynos series processors, they both mention the ARM-designed components during the presentations. On top of that, many of the stuffs inside Kirin SoCs apart from CPU and GPU core designs are indeed self-designed (e.g. ISP, NPU).

                        Chinese universities and other Chinese companies nare showing massive interest in RISC-V, yes US can't ban China from using RISC-V.

                        China was exposed it's weakness in Lithography, fabrication and Software stuff.

                        But According to Made in China 2035, the path demands every university, institution, and agency to use Chinese made chips and Software.

                        And China is in better position now than 4 years ago


                        The government has promised ntinunvest 2.1Trilion USD in technology sector.

                        SMUC has made their own 7nm lithography without help of ASML.l, which is coming in 2035.


                        Intel will most likely be banned in 2035, since the market forces it

                          Anonymous, 05 Jan 2021Pure virtue signaling by the CEO of Ericsson. Why texting ... moreSimple .... because Ericsson is afraid China might use National Security like Sweden to ban Ericsson in China (Which is a couple of hundred times bigger and lucrative than Sweden). Also currently there are a lot of R&D being done in China (if Ericsson is being booted out of China than Ericsson R&D would fall even further behind HW and ZTE)

                              Pure virtue signaling by the CEO of Ericsson. Why texting and publicizing it. He is Ericsson’s CEO. He could have met the minister in person and put his business case very seriously and tenaciously. And we need not know anything about it, why should we !

                                  Anonymous, 05 Jan 2021It hurt US the most. China got their own Lithography mac... moreGood luck with that. With x86-64, ARM now all under US., Open RISC-V is the only 'legal' processor they can produce, as long as US. keep the tabs on it.

                                  Back to software, since let assume on the scenario x86-64 and ARM is out of question, what OS/software platform they going to run? RHEL is the biggest state recognized distro while smaller project tend to roll on CentOS. And guess which country the commercial RHEL drive? US. too. Given the software development scene in China, the safest assumption is BSD. And despite being Open source nature (which more often Chinese take that as 'free' as in free of license), sadly most of the foundation/main dev/contributor is US-based, who knows what could happen? And running x86-64 emulation on BSD? Well, look at how long it took Linux to emulate Windows, and how much progress it made?

                                  Don't kid yourself, don't be fooled. China isn't nearly as strong and powerful as they marketed to be. A lot of tech isn't self-developed, and most is on high-level. They have nothing driving the low-level. And Huawei keep paint their own Kirin as self-designed processor while it's mere ARM licensed like any other. And look how far US. sanction drive them?
