On the other hand China has to balance the private economy to push forward as well in the tech industry, and LoongArch is perfect for that in a commercial context, especially now that US lawmakers are seeking to literally "block" China from using RISC-V (good luck with that), it at least provides an excuse, and plus it's far away enough from both MIPS and RISC-V to be categorized as its own thing. But no despair, there are great RISC-V projects out there, take a look at Milk-V, they released their Mars board and it's been a huge success. By no means is it being sidelined, but I also recognize as sobuddywhoneedsyou said below that RISC-V is relatively early in the adoption phase, especially with the ARM hype right now, so maybe going slow is for the best.
