The only real hurdle preventing them from fully realizing such initiative is chip fab, in terms of yield and ultra-high efficiency processes(Gate pitch, nano-ribbon, backside power delivery, substrate, 3D vias, ultra high throughput interconnect, etc.). Not even CPU or GPU(drivers dev including) is a problem right now. Since there’s a lack of momentum and most software and fabless engineers lack a properly defined process roadmap to work towards, they lack motivation and the drive to really double down on development work. Everything is in flux now in the industry due to sanctions, post pandemic uncertainty, lack of prior momentum, general economy. You can’t work on a car engine while the car is in motion where the car alludes to proper guidelines in this instance.

There is one thing your ALL missing.

China will not be able to keep up with current gaming hardware standards. Imagine playing Palworld but your CPU/GPU is only able to handle 20FPS vs everyone else with 60+FPS.

That will piss off more than a few Chinese gamers so they will need to have two machines. Government machine, and a Gaming Machine.

the Chinese Gov doesn't care about that.

I mean they care so little CHina has its own version of steam and other services.

Also fact China has been limiting gaming over years as they see it as dumbing down society (which isnt entirely false tbh)

also long term they will be fine.
Yes, China has a seedy past but they are also not only that they are able to make stuff on their own. When forced to do so that will only improve over time.
 
This article doesn't go deep enough explaining how much China has replaced Western software. In addition to Kylin OS, there's Deepin and Unity Operating System (UOS), WPS for office suites. and HarmonyOS NEXT instead of Android.
 
I think it's a good thing that China is working towards their technological independence day.
You guys who are cheering them on should consider what they'll do next. They won't stop at just dominating their own, internal market. They'll push these products into lots of developing markets.

The effect will be to make as many countries as possible even more dependent on them. On one level, it will just be a repeat of what they've done in so many other industries. On another level, because this is software and computing services we're talking about, they'll have a direct line back to the mothership. If you go against their interests, all of a sudden, your critical infrastructure could go down. Or, maybe the just exercise softer influence through the pricing of service contracts and upgrades.
