How do they manage IP if they have no control over them? I see a pretty big issue

They don’t. They’re proper rogue and being China there isn’t much you can do about it
According to the filing they have extremely limited ability to influence them and yeah it is a big issue.
Which is terrifying - ARM's biggest risk in that regard is that ARM China can effectively shoot itself in the foot in the name of Chinese strategic/geopolitical/technological interests, and all their Chinese employees will have absolutely nothing to worry about.
I wonder if it would have been better for Nvidia to have bought ARM. Nvidia's cards might have been sufficient influence.
