Arm has determined that the U.S. and U.K. will not approve licenses to export technology to China, and Alibaba will be unable to buy some of its most advanced chip designs, the Financial Times reported. According to sources, Arm, a subsidiary of Softbank, determined that the United States and the United Kingdom would not approve the sale of its latest Neoverse V series because the performance was too high. This is the first time SoftBank’s Arm has decided not to export its cutting-edge designs to China. This will affect the purchase of advanced chip designs by Alibaba and other Chinese companies. Arm is considered vulnerable to U.S. export controls against China because Chinese companies, like those in other countries, mostly use Arm’s designs to build devices from smartphones to servers. | Related reading (Aijiwei)

Arm’s new export restrictions this time can be seen as the latest step in the United States’ ban on China in the field of chip semiconductors, which will have a great impact on the business of Alibaba and other Chinese companies.
Although it seems that there are some open source alternatives to replace Arm’s design, after this move, it is hard to say when the United States will take other measures to fill this “loophole” in the future. This means that the United States’ restrictions on China’s chips are being tightened step by step, and the situation is not optimistic.
