I can explain that, because I made the website.
The project started out in Hong Kong, where we've rented out a clean room and I made the first transistors in the lab there.
Back then we got some funding from the PRC, because some folks were interested into my argument of the possibility of CIA/NSA hardware back-doors in Chinese hardware... Spying goes both ways, and you gotta pitch your projects depending on the situation. Then however, the pandemic started and folks started setting the campus on fire because of the extradition treaty protests, so we ran out of money and now I'm in Portugal.
And using their flag as a language icon was a condition for funding?
While using the flag of the communist insurgents who hold the mainland for traditional Chinese is particularly egregious, the two other flags, US and German, aren't correct either, and neither is really the ROC flag for traditional Chinese. I would have just followed the recommendation not to use national flags as language icons.
Yeah, I'm still thinking about how I could make the language selection differently. But you're not the first person screeching around over details on the site. A while ago someone claimed I'd "hate women" because I refuse to add pronouns and so to the team page.
I rather focus on the important things, you know, like actually producing chips?
