It is slow by today's standard but it is all ours:
Dawning 6000: China launches its first homemade supercomputer

This is not the end, there is still another more recent clone. I'll find it and post it here
Dawning 6000: China launches its first homemade supercomputer
Mar 04, 2011
China has unveiled its first supercomputer made exclusively of Chinese components. The announcement of the Dawning 6000 was made by lead chip architect Weiwu Hu at the International Solid State Circuits Conference last week in San Francisco. It will go online this summer and run Linux.
Clocking in at 300 teraflops, it won’t top any speed lists, but the machine will be one of world's most efficient. The 3,000 8-core Godson 3B chips run at 3.2 gigaflops per watt thanks to a low clock speed of 1 GHz and 64-bit MIPS architecture, which is more common in mobile devices. China already boasts the world's fastest machine -- the Tianhe-1A -- so brute computational power was not the goal here. Where the Tianhe-1A utilizes Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs, the Dawning 6000 features only Chinese made chips.
