Did someone seriously delete my reply to Lam92103? 

So, first SoftBank decides to sell ARM, a ton of engineers and executives leave TSMC for Chinese firms, because there’s no way THAT could go wrong, and now there’s this malware in the Xcode developed kit used to make all Mac apps

Just the wait time of approval from various government will likely kill the deal. 

Nvidia will have no issues getting this approved. 

A stipulation of the sale will almost certainly be that new ARM IP will not be made available to Chinese companies, due to China's use of civilian technology for the PLA. 

Also due to the fact nothing is made in china without the chinese government having complete control of it. 

Bahahahaha....

... That's what your right wing overlords want you to think....

The rest of the world knows that is nonsense.

"There's technology transfer: Chinese regulations often require foreign companies to partner with a state-run Chinese firm if they're going to open shop there. That's happened to GM, Volkswagen, Qualcomm, and Intel, for instance. And that intrinsically involves sharing intellectual property and technology with the Chinese partner. There's good old-fashioned copyright violations: Chinese companies brazenly copy patents, brands, logos, and such. (Nor, as mentioned above, can foreign companies always rely on Chinese courts to shutdown this behavior.) Finally, there's outright commercial espionage: Chinese actors physically breaking in or hacking into foreign companies — either on foreign soil or within China — and making off with trade secrets."

I'm pretty sure I don't have to say it. 
I'm absolutely sure we all know what you are.

We can only hope. 

As I said before, this is not only a mistake, putting control of the ARM architecture directly in the hands of China (NVIDIA is Intel, and Intel is pretty much China), but it's going in the exact direction I expected it to go. 

I called this when it was first reported, and everyone said I was being Chicken Little. 

What now, brown cow?
