I don't know if something similar was feared, but I would like to remind people of what happened in 2020 with China and ARM.

You don't get into the China market without losing control.

Which came from the US sanctioning Huawei because Huawei was making better chips than Qualcomm and Cisco.

US was posturing to ban China access to Arm. Ultimately, it led to a ban on using TSMC for Chinese companies instead. There is no real justification to do a blanket ban on all Chinese companies except a state-sponsored way to to slow China down in AI race.

Not better, just cheaper copies. And all it took was mining Nortel to death and then moving on to mining Cisco itself.

How long until we're all learning Chinese in order to better understand their datasheets.

It must have slipped by me at the time - what happened with China and ARM?

[devnullbrain]

The Arm China CEO went rogue and spun it off as its own company. ARM HQ were unable to fire him, as he had physical possession of the company's seal stamp. Reading between the lines, the Chinese government chose not to intervene for multiple years.

Can't you say the same for the West though? This news is about a Chinese company's control being taking over by a Western government.

In no way this is comparable, come on.

When you run your business in China, China runs the copy of your business for you ;)

I do understand that we want to try to see "the same" in the stupidity of our politicians that let all of this happen just like that for many years, but we are different.
