    “Communist China is developing open-source chip architecture to dodge our sanctions and grow its chip industry,” Rubio said in a statement to Reuters. “If we don’t broaden our export controls to include this threat, China will one day surpass us as the global leader in chip design.”

      … I’m lost. So China is developing a technology that can be inspected and used by anybody, and Americans are upset because… it might be more advanced than theirs? What export controls do they propose? A Great Wall of Github so Chinese scientists have to use VPNs to research code?

      The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is abusing RISC-V to get around U.S. dominance of the intellectual property needed to design chips. U.S. persons should not be supporting a PRC tech transfer strategy that serves to degrade U.S. export control laws

      Abusing. Lmao. In capitalist America, the government wants to force you at gunpoint to monetize your creation
