There was no general lift. The sanctions are still in place. A handful of isolated, super critical suppliers for certain markets are allowed to keep doing business for ninety days. Essentially all of those are hardware manufactures, not engineering design suppliers. It is unlikely that ARM will be given a pass for ninety days like, say, Micron was given.
ARM is also not a US company and the US isn't likely to lift sanctions to save the Japanese some money. The ninety days was almost certainly because a handful of major US manufacturers were facing epic market crashes if their largest customer was suddenly taken from them.

So he is actually proven to be a war criminal now? Last time I read anything about this, there was nothing proven.
