I guess I'm not sure what "this kind of thing" is? I'm also not sure where the "Semiconductor Heist" part comes in? ARM is only valuable for patents, AFAIK. Nobody needed to pretend to do anything if they wanted to make knock-off ARMs?

As long as you're selling into a market with no IP enforcement, you could do that any time you wanted. Maybe I'm missing something?

I believe Jonathan's "pretend rules" refer to Western belief that the CHN market is benign and does not pose competitive (or geopolitical) risk to the West, while the reality is that CHN has managed a tech transfer ("heist") with those kind of ramifications in Arm, because power.

I understand the implication. I just don't understand where the heist comes in. Anyone who wanted to steal ARM tech could just license it, thereby getting all of the implementation details, and then do the same thing. You never need to pretend?

Like I can just license ARM's tech for the lowest cost thing because I tell them I am only going to fab a small number of chips, or whatever. Then I just fab a billion chips. Done. That is the same level of "heist" as this is, isn't it?

The "heist" part would make sense if ARM was a _closed_ source chip company. Like if they had done this with nVidia's GPU designs, or something.
