Re: Well, that does it for Western companies investing in China
Doctor Syntax,
That depends on how the JV was set up, and how the voting rights work. Also there may be provisions in the agreement about objecting to people being appointed over conflicts of interest. I'm assuming that ARM aren't fools, and they haven't just sacked someone and appointed a replacement if they don't have the legal right to, as that would be pretty stupid.
Although given what both sides are saying, it is likely that someone is being quite stupid. We just can't know which lot yet.
