This should be a cautionary tale to any tech companies. Don't do any business inside of China or the government will take over a portion of your company. Yeah, the Chinese government is totally NOT using their corporate access to ARM to copy every single shred of IP they can. Cheap backdoored chinese ARM-alike chips will start flooding out in a year or two.

Seems good old government racket, Chinese style. You can't do anything without China's government cronies in your business. Who will try to oust you when possible and take over your business. In larger picture - if ASML legal battle for China will not work, they will try to abandon x86/x64 completely and move their critical infrastructure to stolen Arm architecture.

Looks like their deal with China is going to cost them an ARM if not the leg.
