At the current stage, no one should be using a RISC-V machine as their main machine. That's why I mentioned Framework, because with Framework, if the investment was a failure, I can just get a X86 board and the rest is not a total lost.
However, even through Framework ships to Taiwan, importing product from Taiwan to China is not significantly easier than importing from the US. I still need to handle shipment forwarding and customs etc. Plus, my knowledge is, Framework discourages/bans shipment forwarding. So before I can get the product in an official and legitimate way, I'll just keep waiting.
The tablet mentioned in the main article while promising, it just can't interest me as a consumer. For it's starting price at $149, I can buy a secondhand ThinkPad X230t to run Ubuntu 24.04 and it's also a tablet (arguably the best tablet in the entire tablet history in the entire tablet universe so far).
Maybe the Chinese government should buy those tablets as work equipment to prevent their employees/personals from playing Microsoft Solitaire during work hours.
