"Rising Tensions: US Braces for Chinese Chip Onslaught"
The U.S.-born chip technology RISC-V has become crucial to China's ambitions, sparking a new debate in Washington about potential restrictions on exporting the technology to China. RISC-V, which provides a common language for designing processors found in various devices, has become a central tool for Chinese companies and government institutions aiming to match U.S. semiconductor prowess. Lawmakers are considering extending restrictions to prevent U.S. citizens from aiding China on RISC-V, amid concerns about the technology being used to undermine export controls and advance the geopolitical interests of the Chinese Communist Party.
