The law of diminishing returns. At that point the Chinese will do almost everything themselves and because price is king in this world the Chinese to much of the dismay of the Americans could end even more embedded in the semiconductor supply chain than in the past because now they are an alternative supplier of materials, components, software and machinery. Be sure that a lot of Chinese supplier as they get big inside China they will promote their product outside of China.
Is already happening, with ACMR in South Korea, Naura in South East Asia and AMEC probably in the US.

looks like you missed out pointing the most important part. Xuzhou B&C confirms they have developed Arf dry photoresist.
also from this
I don't recall this getting posted before. But if they can get this scaled up & support more types of photoresists, then the Japanese hold on photoresists would not be a threat
pretty big deal since they also support most of the monomer types for photoresists
