US fears Chinese out manoeuvring it with RISC-V
 

How can we keep the world dependent on US tech

The US government is becoming increasingly worried that its cunning plan to squash any competition for its own chip tech might be foiled by the Chinese adoption of RISC-V.

For those who came in late, RISC-V was developed in the US and provides a foundation for myriad chips that handle computing chores. RISC-V essentially provides a kind of common language for designing processors that are found in devices like smartphones, disk drives, Wi-Fi routers and tablets.

RISC-V has ignited a new debate in Washington in recent months about how far the United States can or should go as it steadily expands restrictions on exporting technology to China that could help advance its military.
