small RISC-V family member? Microblaze style, just good enough for C? ..

I played with RudoIV which worked nice here, I made some mods - full 128kB internal spram for C binary, C binary stored in the bitstream flash instead of being read from UART (there is 4MB flash on ice40UP5k fpga based UPduino board)..

What? Maybe I am missing or misunderstanding something.

My wife is Chinese and I have been traveling to China almost yearly for the last 25 years (although not since covid) and all CD/DVD drives, players and disks I have seen or bought there are the same as in western countries.

China pretty much skipped the VCR phase and went directly to the CD/DVD which were more prevalent in China than in America 25 years ago.

Hmmm... I wonder which country hosts the companies that came up with the idea of regional locks for DvDs.

Probably referencing the VCD/SVCD being promoted/prevalent over DVD:

plenty of juicy links from there about the obscure formats China tried to push (to avoid IP licensing requirements).

I suspect you are right, but my only source is memory of an article I read probably 30-40 years ago quoting a Chinese officials statement of china's policy to keep money from going external to China and support development of local industry.  I have no knowledge of what happened internal to China subsequently.  Apparently they eventually switched to world standards.
