China Releases 2nd generation MIPS Chip

eldawg writes writes with news of the launch of a second-generation Chinese 64-bit MIPS CPU. "The Godson-2 or 'Dragon' went into production last week. News reports indicate that, 'The CPU is 95% MIPS compatible using an unauthorized and unlicensed variation of the MIPS architecture, which is owned by the American company MIPS Technologies...The Godson-2 is pretty much a copy of the MIPS R10000 which makes it on par with 1995 technology.' The Chinese plan on using these chips in consumer electronics for the local market, but one can assume that they will eventually end up in exported electronic goods. I wonder if MIPS Technology will sit idly by when this happens?"

I have to say, most of the comments here can be concluded into one option that
non-Western people can never make any progress or advantage in technology, or it's stolen from western world.

i wonder how eastern people looked at west in 300 years ago, e.g. Tang Dynasty.

With the same logic, almost all the western people after that are thieves.

With the same logic, western people's foolishness and selfishness are shown so clearly here.

BTW, there is a very basic and universal principle in law, who claims, who gives the evidence. It should be MIPS to find evidence, not Chinese to prove they are clean.
