    In it’s roots, yes. But the architecture isn’t banned, just the chips. As an analogy, China can make its own internal combustion engines and not buy Ford cars.

      I meant, if they require a license to keep making x86 chips, what’s to stop Intel/the US from revoking it later on?

        At this point the licencing is only about Intel getting money, not about China being allowed to produce the chips, me thinks
