Why Huawei losing ARM is a major issue

News recently emerged that Arm Holdings (ARM) was banned from doing business with Huawei after the US Department of Commerce blacklisted the Chinese telecommunications company.

BBC News reported that ARM staff were told to halt all current and future contracts with Huawei, citing an internal company memo. ARM confirmed that it was complying with the restrictions enacted by the US government.

Inaccurate reporting. They're not banned from supplying or working with Huawei. My guess is it's simply a proactive knee jerk reaction until the dust settles.

A drastic option for Huawei is to completely reverse engineer ARM’s architecture, but that could result in legal action and other unpleasantness.

Or Huawie could take the legal route and withhold the patents they have on WiFi 6, 4G, 5G, etc

When it loses LEG, that will be the end.
