You don't think "the Chinese" have the technology?
Would it surprise you to know that 5 out of 6 major chip foundaries capable of the highest scale of integration nowadayse are located in China, Korea, or Taiwan? In the last 5-10 years, they have shut-down/moved/sold-out of the US,Japan, and other countries.. Where do you think chips are comming from now, if not China?
My brother is an applications engineer for Legerity (Communications processor division of AMD) and spends MOST of his time in China nowadayze.. Im pretty sure "the Chinese" have the technology to reproduce the 68060, and much more modern processors as well.

The newly acquired assets then became Legerity, an independent company. AMD still owns 10 percent of Legerity's shares."
