LoongArch will win. xi-cooking

See: China blocks use of Intel and AMD chips in government computers

They don't link a source and I looked for one and couldn't find any public press releases or anything from official sources, but maybe it's because I'm searching with English search terms. If anyone is from China and knows anything about this I'd love to know more about it. I wouldn't doubt it being real though, they've been talking about doing it for a while now but I didn't expect them to to it this quickly. Let them cook, if there's one country that has the ability and will to pull off a move away from x86/x86_64, it's China.

Here is some LoongArch nerd material if anyone is interested: Are We Loong Yet? and the LoongArch Reference Manual
