I'm pretty sure Hermann Hauser is aware of this, since he co-found and later sold ARM. He doesn't consider the Japanese conglomerate owing ARM a blow to the UK's technological sovereignty, but he does for Nvidia.

  Didn't he complain about Japanese conglomerate owning ARM as well?

    Less strongly. But Softbank etc were also less heavy handed than an Nvidia would be...

Before that it was listed on the FTSE and NASDAQ, so owned by international investors. So what?

    Yes. It's registered in the UK. It still has to obey UK law. So what does the ownership matter?
