Feels like a shotgun approach. They have x86-64 (Zhaoxin), RISC-V (Xiangshan, Alibaba), MIPS -> Loongarch (Loongson), and aarch64 (Phytium). My guess is the central government is trying to build domestic chips by throwing piles of money at anyone who says they can make one. Result: a pile of different architectures running different instruction sets, none of which come close to being a high performance design.
