Why would anyone want this? Maybe they are forcing Chinese nationals to buy them and inflate their popularity as a product for Papa CCP.
They probably sell them dirt cheap domestically, no need for coercion
Could be for devs? China's long term goal is to wean itself off western software and hardware.
Speaking strictly in the US, which is what this article is about.
For devs.
US has plenty of open source devs and they need access to hardware to test their software.
