I didn't know arm was created in china...
Nvidia was created by Taiwanese (Ethnically Chinese - Chinese does not equal the state of China) who later became American.

The Arm that Acorn created and hold patents for is in truth a copy of Risc designs taken from Berkeley. The ARM you know today as the Broadcom, Snapdragon and Apple are entirely different beasts to the ISA. The ISA is like the ruleset for a football match, it doesn't have anything to do with how the actual matches perform or are engineered or the performance of the players. Claiming Broadcom, Snapdragon or Apple ARM designs are a result of ARM is like saying all books printed on A4 paper will hold the same information, or all football matches will be played the same way because of the ruleset. The instruction set has zero bearing on the proprietary designs that are made on it. A good example is RISCV a brilliant instruction set because it is open. Does because it is open mean it will outperform proprietary designs? Not at all. The proprietary designs are what make the chips so efficient and perform so well, not the ISA. All the ISA does is provide the wider ecosystem rulebook. So claiming that chips were designed in the UK or US because they are ARM is absurd. Try design your own chips and compete with them if you think its that easy. Gross disingenuous oversimplification. The designs are made globally in many countries (most of them not in the US or UK).
