Well, yes - if Apple or Samsung violate IP laws, there is recourse. If China steals all the Arm Holdings IP and infrastructure in China, there is no recourse.

If I scam someone on EBay or Amazon almost anywhere in the Western world, they can take me to court given sufficient evidence and magnitude of the scam. If a Chinese seller on Alibaba or Amazon scams me, there is zero recourse.
The Western world has a surprising level of default trust and honesty in business. There are gross and obvious exceptions, but China is culturally and legally playing a vastly different and incompatible game.
