China is reportedly leaning on domestic tech giants Alibaba and Tencent to design RISC-V chips as part of the country’s efforts to insulate itself from the effects of the United States’ growing silicon sanctions.<\/p>\n

This is according to a Wednesday report<\/a> by The Financial Times, which said China has “enlisted” the two companies. That word has quite the insinuation, given the country’s “military-civil fusion” doctrine, where private firms must share their technologies, and any software vulnerabilities<\/a>, with China’s military.<\/p>\n

The report said Alibaba and Tencent are part of a new consortium of companies and research institutes set up by the Chinese government that aims to create new intellection property for chips based on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). This means China is looking to cook up core designs and other silicon building blocks that will serve as the basis for future chips.<\/p>\n
