The tech world is waiting: how does China respond to US threats?
The Chinese RISC-V community ignores threats from US lawmakers to impose restrictions on access to open chip design technology. Experts from China believe that the consequences of such a decision will be insignificant.
None of the Chinese premier members of RISC-V International, including Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Technologies, ZTE Corp and Tencent Holdings, have commented on reports that lawmakers from both parties in the United States have called on the Biden administration to limit cooperation between China and US corporations in the field of RISC-V technologies.
RISC-V is an Open instruction architecture (ISA) that allows chip specialists to adapt and modify their designs. For China, this was a chance to reduce its dependence on foreign technology suppliers amid the technological confrontation with the United States.
Peng Jianyin, CEO of Nuclei System Technology, a leading supplier of RISC-V processors in China, said the impact will be limited, as the U.S. can only restrict U.S. companies exports to China or cooperation with China.
Jack Kang, senior vice president of SiFive, believes that RISC-V, like other open standards such as Linux, Ethernet, and Wi-fi, is key to "technological innovation growth."
Commercial sellers of RISC-V IP, such as SiFive, are already subject to restrictions on doing business with Chinese companies that have been blacklisted by the US.
Sophie Teng, a former CRVIC general secretary, said the US may restrict certain RISC-V-based codes produced in the US or sales of commercial RISC-V IP by US companies to mainland China.
RISC-V International publishes an open ISA standard based on the Reduced Instruction Set (RISC) principles, first developed by UC Berkeley Professor David Patterson in 1980.
China Mobile, China's largest telecom operator, on Thursday launched its first modem based on a 64-bit RISC-V chip.
