US might end up preventing its companies from participating in RISCV development going forward. The proposal is as stupid as you'd expect. [pdf]

Blocking an open standard? Good luck LOL. All this demonstrates is the inevitable and ongoing collapse of the US.
Exactly, the only thing this can possibly achieve is to freeze out US companies from being able to work on RISCV. There is nothing US has at this point in terms of tech that China won't be able to replicate in short order. I expect that RISCV will continue to evolve rapidly, and it's likely to going to become the global standard going forward.
Not to mention, China has plenty of architecture innovation of its own in the last few years. Have you seen the stats for the new Loongson 3A6000 (MIPS ISA, no less!) apparently running about four years behind Intel's current lineup? Really impressive.
For sure, Loongson is already pretty close to Intel and AMD latest offerings in terms of performance. Just imagine what sort of amazing stuff we'll see in a couple of years.
