RISC-V is not a "CPU technology". It is an ISA.

I assume the primary "regime" you refer to here is China. What they have shown is that, if forced to, they are perfectly capable of producing their own domestic technologies and industries. Given that, I would vastly prefer them to use an open and sharable standard like RISC-V rather than to create a fully incompatible ecosystem that forces global supply chains to schism completely.

But of course the other "regimes" that are looking to RISC-V for independence are places like Europe and Canada. Were those the places you meant?
