Be a shame they’ve left a poorly configured VPN node that allowed someone from a Chinese IP dump unknown quantities of IP. Happens all the time. And oh look the Chinese subsidiary hired some really talented people that got a new chip design in a record time!
Would they even need to move? Just create a China based subsidiary and sell them consultancy in the form of expert chip designers.
As long as they are headquartered in USA, the company is under American law, and USA can simply forbid them to expand to China.
They’d still be beholden to US sanctions.
