    Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won’t necessarily be open source and available to all, it’s just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.

    China has had access to x86 for years, they’ve not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.
