Why? China would benefit much more than US/Europe from RISC-v catching up. Wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do geopolitically (or longterm economically for that matter).

Yeah, that sounds like a very strange claim. There are some very decent/expensive private hospitals in Germany, Switzerland and I assume elsewhere..

It’s the other way around. They lost access to oil because they entered WW2. Had they not decided to invade Indochina (and China before that) US wouldn’t have embargoed oil exports to Japan.
