risc-v is much more reasonable for countries like china.What I want to emphasize is this: Instead of paying license fees for outdated x86 architectures, it would be much more beneficial to allocate those resources to universities. If you're paying for a license but can't generate a return on that investment quickly, then something is wrong.


You are completely misunderstanding China's goal. They want the expertise, being self-sufficient, while taking what they can so they don't start from 0.

Risc-V is arguably risky, so they have their hands on everything at the same time so they're sure they have a winner.

Markets don't matter. They want to develop the technology and have the talent to achieve it, fast.
