No actually, I think Tesla is one of the few foreign companies who has been able to operate there without the JV requirement.

Yes. All companies that operate in China have to be 51% domestically owned. Often they're setup so the parent company keeps all of the IP but as the Arm situation shows, that only gives the parent so much power.

this is not true - there is a type of legal entity called a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE). It is only allowed for certain lines of business, of course, which wouldn't include anything of strategic importance to China.
