Keeping in mind that Phytium used to have ties with the People's Liberation Army ...

And still does, of course.

Also, the article wrongly attributes the US's Huawei/SMIC ban to a "trade war". This particular ban has nothing to do with fair trade, but rather security concerns over companies with ties to China's military.

Imagine how much better it would be with four high performance, and four energy efficient, cores, with a unified memory architecture that didn't require predicting diddly as it juggles data through the bus slowing things down significantly. And if it used TSMC's 5nm process (or it's upcoming 3nm process).

Apple's competitors have a tough row to hoe.

I hope these chips are trash, and that they waisted tons of money producing them.

This isn't made to compete on the free market, it's made so that china has a backdoor-less CPU to put in key positions.
I think they already sold (got payed for) all of them before even making them.

I don't think this is only about backdoors, but it's about technological independence. All CPUs todays are property of foreign countries (in China's view), so all their computers rely on foreign technology to work. If they have their own chips, in the event of embargos, factory relocations, tariffs and even wars, they can keep evolving their technological base. India is doing it too, and it makes sense to do so.

Just about every Chinese domestic business has ties to either the PLA or the Communist Party. Foreign entities might as well be asking to have their devices bugged, hacked, or even sabotaged.

The only reason why the PRC has managed to become a super power is because of naive and greedy politicians in the West.
It is quite incredible that in less than two decades the PRC has managed to become a critical supplier of advanced technology like 5G and commercial drones and even medical equipment.
The liberal democracies and their politicians should take the democratic peace theory a lot more seriously.

Well, free of western back doors, sure.

Would you rather have the intelligence services of Sweden or the UK to listening to your phone conversations or a country which execute political prisoners and harvest their organs to do that?
