Apparently China is "abusing" RISC-V! I simply don't understand the mentality. :/

I guess they think of RISC-V as a security threat because

  • they can't control it
  • they can't annex it to exclusively make money from it and
  • because it blows the bloody doors off the protocols they do control to make money.

In other words : they perceive open source as anti-capitalist.

It was a visionary move to decamp RISC-V to Switzerland, I'd say.
