Maybe, though Samsung semiconductors and Samsung mobile are completely different divisions. Samsung Semi is doing fine unlike the mobile division.@BoraTas the reason for supplying chips to Huawei? a big opportunity had just manifest itself.

Arm said its latest tech upgrade is not subject to US export regulations
Not good to base off the entire tech ecosystem to the "doubt the UK would be dishonorable". The UK doesn't have a stellar reputation, if.you get my meaning.Huawei can probably get ARM licenses from Hou An Innovations, which for $775 million. It is barely possible that Hou An did not buy the rights to all future ARM generations, but if they got only one generation why did they spend $775 million? So I expect Huawei can license the next ARM from Hou An.
Of course, ARM UK could break contractual obligations and keep its future versions from the Middle Kingdom. But if they did that, the ARM world would split, with China making its version incompatible with the UK version. ARM China is now owned by a Chinese company, so (1) this would be legal, and (2) the Chinese version would probably have the legal right to be called "ARM". The two incompatible ARMs would create enormous confusion in the market (i.e. an app may work in one version but not in another). Due to the split, China's growing economic power could be used to establish the Chinese ARM as the dominant version, and ARM UK would lose its dominance. So I doubt the UK guys would be dishonorable.
I think Huawei does not have to be worried about access to future ARM generations. The company has other problems though.

I think its better for China to give it up and switch everything to RISC-V which is a true open source project. Nothing good happens when you depend on foreign tech IP
Yes but ideally the Chinese wouldn't want the world to split. China now is ascending the tech ladder and it now ready to benefit from all this new tech it is developing.I wasn't counting on the honor of the UK: in that entire paragraph I discussed why any contract breaking by ARM UK would cause them to lose in the long run. Here's the paragraph again:
RISC-V should probably be kept in reserve, in case ARM UK does something stupid.

If the world was split then there would be problems for Chinese tech companies. Thats why I said to go for RISC-V in the first place to be sure that everything is ok
