China’s RISC-V Strategy: Open Spec as JAM Becomes the New Sovereignty

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Claim: China frames open spec as sovereignty by combining RISC-V ISA hardware freedom with GEM’s open-spec computation to lower costs and break vendor lock-in. Cited facts: 99% of smartphone CPUs use ARM and SWIFT moves >$5 trillion/day. Technical specifics: PokerVM compiles natively to RISC‑V for parallelism, language flexibility and embedded deployment; GEM splits ZKP work across modular layers to cut energy per proof. Proposed deployments: national CBDC, bilateral CBDC settlement, and multilateral markets like tokenized carbon credits.
