I was just wondering from a British Point of view whether you still consider them to be British or not.

>Who owns the ARM IP? A Japanese company. Not a British one.

ARM, a British Company, owned by Japanese Funds.

Because to me that is like saying HSBC is owned by Chinese if HSBC had Ping An and other shadow investors owning majority of it, but certainly HSBC is a British Company right?

P.S - I means no offence in case any Brits got the wrong end of the stick. Just genuinely curious.

I think they're culturally British. I don't think they are British owned or that their IP is British owned. Which was the context of the discussion.
