Arm China CEO goes rogue after being fired

Haha, delicious.

Think the guy overplayed his hand though, he might have enough corrupt pull locally but once the national communist party gets wind I think he'll get stomped. This would be the end of multinational engagement in China otherwise and I don't think China is ready to go cold war just yet.

 

Would it? So far blatant copying, patent infringement, privacy and basic human right violations etc. have done absolutely nothing to refrain from companies wanting to do business with China. Since capitalism requires a never increase in profit (for stakeholders) no company is going to leave a market with a billion+ people unless they are forced to.

China knows this which is exactly why they require foreign companies to "partner" with a Chinese (state controlled) company and grab all the IP in the process.

 

Oooh, this sounds juicy/fun! Gonna watch this thread, thanks!

 

It's about the devils you know. China was a predictable partner before who traded steady theft of knowhow with low cost production, letting this happen would make it a completely unpredictable shithole.

 

Yet it happened.

Tim Cook must be sweating now.

 

What a complete mess! Highly doubt China court system will do anything.

 

Another reason why NVIDIA should buy ARM. The US can standup for ARM and win, China doesn't like bowing to the US but it will when it comes down to it ... if Japan tried to push the issue it would escalate.

 

Considering who is in the White House, right now, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Then again, I'm not sure even that matters with China's posturing and attempting to provoke the US into going to war with them by attempting to get the US to fire the first shot in an altercation so that China can claim that the US are the aggressors.

Talking with my relatives in Japan and Taiwan, after how the US has handled the situation in Afghanistan, they are all now fearful that Taiwan will be under Chinese control in a few years. Basically they no longer trust the US with who we have in charge.

Nonsense, this withdraw was negotiated by the previous guy. I thought the whole world understood well that US had returned to "business as usual", and by business I mean imperialistic military expansion.

 

I say they settle this like men...








...with an Arm wrestle.

 

If the US wanted to fire a shot, they'd get Taiwan to fire an antiship missile. Plausible deniability.

But I'm not talking about applying military force, but economic force. Like the Iran sanctions showed, when it comes right down to it the whole world including China yields to US power when they get serious. Though it hurts their ego, they can take yielding to the US ... no matter how painful the economic damage is, even if it hurts China much more, they'll never yield to Japan.
