Do you want the suppler of low cost, powerful RISC-V based microcontrollers to be china or the USA? Oh wait, most of the good MCUs already come out of china these days, like the ESP32 (now made with RISC-V).
If everyone is turning to chinese manufacturers for their fancy new microcontrollers, american firms stop making them or die. Now chna's the only supplier.
Next thing you know, china's conflict with taiwan goes hot and china threatens to cut off exports of chips and products using them to anyone that intervenes. Sudently the USA takes the place of russia, who are scavenging STM32s from washing machines because of their war with ukraine.
