RISC-V is all about not bowing down to one company, or one country - cheaper better chips from China are just as good as cheaper better chips from the USA or Europe - and competition, that great capitalist American institution, is a good thing here - we don't need any archaic old cold warriors messing with our markets

When I was working in China one of the most common readings of Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem was to take the Trisolarans as a stand-in for the US, and it doesn't seem too far off the mark with proposals like this.

Trying to intefere with the development of open source hardware isn't just regulating products any more, that's just throwing a wrench into the scientific process.

This may be a bit naive. How do you make sure that there are no intentional security issues / backdoors in Chips from a vendor?
