but isn't RISC-V now being heavily funded and subsidized by the US govt because ARM's proprietary info had been fully garnered by China since they're the ones who mass produce most of the chips?

i thought the entire shift to risc-v was to ensure that the chips themselves are auditable

I imagine that US government doesn't actually want chips to be auditable as long as US companies are the ones making them.
