Apparently China is “abusing” RISC-V! I simply don’t understand the mentality. :/

    Its more or less what the other commenter says. Its likely just arm lobbying the mass adoption of Risc-V as it is its main compeitor if it takes off.

    Some smaler companies already use RISC-V in their products (e.g Pine64, who has a soldering iron, laptop, tablet, watch and such running RISC-V), and some larger chip designers have it in the backlogs (e.g AMD), clearly china doesnt want to pay ARM and thy currently have the talent to design CPUs, so switching over to RISC-V overtime makes sense for them. The politicians are just using China as a scapegoat in order to protect ARM.
