Beijing wants Chinese orgs to seek alternatives to US chips
Briefly

To ensure the safe, stable and sustainable development of my country's internet industry, I call on domestic companies to seek to expand cooperation with chip companies in other countries and regions, and actively use chips manufactured in China by domestic and foreign companies.
That message is that China opposes US sanctions, needs reliable suppliers, and ensuring the 'security' of local industry means choosing chips made at home by companies that don't have US entanglements.
If Chinese organizations follow this advice they'll end up with inferior PCs and servers. Lenovo recently created a laptop that uses a made-in-China CPU from local x86 licensee Zhaoxin that struggles to match the performance of five year old AMD and Intel chips.
While Chinese silicon may not match that from stateside stalwarts Nvidia, Intel, or AMD, it could eventually become easier to obtain after Beijing banned exports to the US of some rare earth.
