(1) What you linked does not appear to be an ARM patent. (2) Even if it were, lack of big/little scheduling is hardly going to bring China's homegrown chip market to it's knees. And that's assuming the patent is ironclad and can't be worked around.

The bigger question is more, what use is a homegrown chip market if no countries in the world are buying your chips?

True, if US companies are disallowed from giving licenses to Chinese companies, then likely the US would also block import of competing Chinese CPUs.
