In a new front in the U.S.-China tech war, President Joe Biden's administration is facing pressure from some lawmakers to restrict American companies from working on a freely available chip technology widely used in China - a move that could upend how the global technology industry collaborates across borders. At issue is RISC-V, pronounced "risk five," an open-source technology that competes with costly proprietary technology from British semiconductor and software design company Arm Holdings.
Apparently China is “abusing” RISC-V! I simply don’t understand the mentality. :/
Sounds like ARM is investing some of that sweet IPO cash in lobbying congress.
The old adage remains true: if you want to know who’s behind something, look at who stands to profit most.
