The reason China is forcing themselves to use shitty, slow, and inefficient processors is because they're indirectly injecting billions in the industry in this way, because no consumer would ever buy a zhaoxin CPU, which is slower than a celeron while more expensive than a core i7.
So, government using shitty processors = after a decade those shitty processors should improve to parity.
Now, if also consumers are forced to use the shitty processors, then the industry has even more incentive to improve
