This is especially interesting in the wake of the Chinese Government's new ban on AMD and Intel chips in government computers.

Ban so they have justification for confiscation. It's not a real 'ban'. Like how russian missiles 'aren't' made with western components but actually are.
Well, you have to dogfood it sometime...
Well the requirements for government IT stack is really more about security and reliability than performance.
They just banned them and Nvidia for medium sized businesses, too.
That's very important context that I wasn't aware of. Makes the other comment about it being used as an avenue to search/seize that hardware much more believable.
