So China is investing more heavily in RISC-V, as a reaction to US
sanctions on exports of proprietary technology

But the idea that they can avoid sanctions by using open-source
technologies just seems to enrage some in the US even further:
The growing Chinese interest in RISC-V has sparked concerns in the
U.S. In 2023, some American lawmakers urged the Biden
administration to limit domestic companies from working on RISC-V
projects and extending the ISA, fearing China could use its
open-source nature to strengthen the capabilities and performance
of its processors. With technology at the center of U.S.-China
tensions, RISC-V's expansion in China could become another point
of conflict.
So what? The USA is going to try and claim ownership of (and impose
export controls on) open-source now?
