Why not? Those CPUs got perfect scores on Red Star OS.

Does it run Linux?

I would buy it. No US fed backdoors, just Chinese ones, and I'm not in China.

You know, it's sort of an interesting thought. If China uses my PC as part of some bot net that would suck, but that's probably the worst that would happen. In the US though, the three letter agencies could "disappear" me. Not that I'm worth disappearing, but... I highly doubt China would send agents after me unless I visited and I don't really plan on it.
