I (also westerner) would still like to see RISC-V succeed, doesn't mean ARM has to fail but open competition is likely to be good in the long term. An ISA won't let China become a leader in semiconductor unless they implement it better than both western implementations of RISC-V and than ARM/Intel, the only thing it does is give an incentive to not rest on our laurels I am also fundamentally uneasy about fundamental technologies being based on just a handful of companies, whether they are western or not, I know it happens but the less it happens the better imo
