Couldn't he sell ARM designs to Chinese companies who produce products with those chips in them and then those companies sell products with ARM IP in them both inside and outside of China? That would seem to be global market no? Or would WTO step in and put a stop to it?

>"Wu stole said IP, but he has very few markets in which he's legally allowed to sell." Is this the consensus pretty much then?

Those bootleg ARM processors would be banned in a flash by the US ITC, and on top of that who would fab them? No legit foundry would want to jeopardize their relationship with the real ARM.

ARM China now has the designs for several-year-old processors. Not that big of a deal.
