RISC-V is an ISA free from toxic IP "à la" mpeg/hdmi/arm/x86 (only barbaric countries where this IP is legal though).
"Write RISC-V assembly, run everywhere..."
It seems they are cheeky people trying to link RISC-V with the current tensions between the US and China. China saw the opportunity of RISC-V and it is pushing hard (like literaly the entire world should). But RISC-V is a US initiative, with the obsvious intention to become a international standard for interoperability of CPUs as the assembly level, that extremely stable in time. India has also RISC-V CPUs, and if everything goes well for RISC-V, its spread should reach more and more CPU designers all around the world further in time. But ARM and x86_64 licence holders (where this licence is legal) may try to torpedo it (probably from the shadows ofc).
