Because ARMv9-A is very new, publicly announced only this year, it does not seem likely that Alibaba could have licensed it from the rogue former ARM subsidiary, but more likely from the parent company.

IIRC, the problems with ARM China started long before the launch of ARMv9-A. Alibaba has certainly received technical information some time before the public announcement, but it is unlikely that any IP would have been transferred to ARM China before that.
