It is likely that the exercise eventually replace at least 50 million PCssaid close staff, asking to remain anonymous as it is a sensitive subject.

Why is all this happening? China has long wanted to shield itself from the foreign economy by keeping the money from imports within its own country and not buying from abroad. They do not want to depend on foreign technology or products, at least not to a great extent. In addition to wanting to reinforce government security in all its agencies and commercial entities.

Can China not depend on technology from Intel, AMD or NVIDIA?

It will be that the Asian giant learns from its mistakes and what it has experienced with Huawei together with the boycott and blockade of these countries with Russia have led it to make a drastic and perhaps impossible decision.

What rumors will be true? China has highly developed various low, medium and high power chips to replace the ecosystems of foreign manufacturers?
