First time in my life seeing a localized ISA

China already did that decades ago. They initially choose MIPS with their LoongSon processors in 2000s, and pivoted to arm processors with the mobile chips wave later with Allwinner and Unisoc. They had supercomputers running with their own MIPS cpus too.

Once a working computer is available commercially, A mandate would be issued by the central government ministries to 250+ Public Sector Undertaking ( Companies with >50% govt equity) to procure only these RISCV computers. This way we can definitely bring it up to speed real fast.

PS: From my experience working currently for one of those PSUs .
