> Through a partnership with a Chinese fab, the team got space on Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and received back their RISC-V general purpose processor. The project went viral, the media caught on, and the project gained national attention.

Kudos. But very expectedly it was a Chinese fab.

Kudos to China then. The world can always benefit from more supply. The US was the one who brought semiconductor manufacturing to Japan and Taiwan over 60 years ago. Now it's China's time to shine.

You're right, and I want to slap myself because I didn't even notice the obvious at first. I need my coffee.
