Chinese government shifts focus from x86 and Arm CPUs, gov't promoting RISC-V chips heavily

The Chinese government is increasingly promoting the development and adoption of RISC-V architecture chips, moving away from traditional x86 and ARM-based processors. This shift is part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on foreign technology amid geopolitical tensions, particularly with the U.S., which has imposed restrictions on technology exports to China. RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture, offers China the advantage of designing its own chips without the need for licensing fees or facing potential export controls. The government's support includes significant investments in RISC-V research, development, and implementation across various sectors, aiming to foster a self-sufficient tech ecosystem. This initiative not only seeks to enhance national security but also to position China as a leader in the global semiconductor industry.
