Obviously people should be made aware that RISC-V is just a specification, and people all around the world already have it including China. Next up is the fact that the US seems to want to keep China behind on capability, so the existing bans on sending advanced lithography equipment to China already prevent them from making the most advanced processors - RISC-V or otherwise. That just leaves the possibility of China importing advanced processors from outside the country. For that it might be sensible to ban RISC-V physical hardware above some capability level from being sent there - just like AMD and nVidia aren't allowed to sell their best GPUs to China. That's really the only option that would hinder them in any way. Do we already have a GFLOPS limit on what can be sold to the Chinese? If so, the whole discussion is redundant.
