I don’t understand what you mean. I’m suggesting that China could be making a big deal of old news now that they are offering a viable alternative to Intel chips. Possibly to drum up more business globally, or to have an excuse to ban Intel chips domestically.

It could also be to make that threat in the face of increasing trade war escalation from the United States, as a sort of “watch what you’re doing” warning.

Probably just posturing in preparation for trade war escalation or threats around banning Intel chips now that they’re ready to take on those markets. https://www.ft.com/content/5511d73a-1ada-4884-a559-681502300e4f
