      They spent 16 billion dollars in R&D in 2023, which is a bit lower than the 17 billion in 2022, but still way higher than the 13 billion from 2019. In 2023 they distributed as dividends (might be wrong on the calculation here, but I think that this is the right number, 1 billion dollars)

    I’ll assume that Loongson are equally as backdoored, but by Chinese intelligence rather than US intelligence.

    RISC-V and OpenPOWER are the last remaining non-user-hostile ISAs. That and possibly old x86.
