    I disagree with the premise that open-source is “Western” philosophy. China is a huge driver of open-source software. Huawei and Alibaba are top Linux kernel contributors and every day I hear about a new RISC-V startup from China. If anything, China is the realm where all knowledge is shared and the West is where knowledge is hidden behind IP laws.

        Asian countries are very lax about IP in general. It would not suprise me that as China and other Asian countries grow in importance, free and open source software also grows with them.
