That's not how the US operates, the US does owns the core component and software packages.And some people would say how come every year added the GDP the size of Netherland but can't make EUV machine which Netherland can ... well only country can currently. The US can't make even any DUV machine, let alone DUVi or EUV
EUV machines need special Dutch bloodline. China can grow as much as it wants, but if it doesn't have Dutch TM bloodline, it will never build a viable EUV machine.And some people would say how come every year added the GDP the size of Netherland but can't make EUV machine which Netherland can ... well only country can currently.

Is PoS 2 going to happen? China doesn't seem to be putting too much attention to it, rather focusing on Turkmenistanbtw, I saw this today
Looks like China has been getting really cheap gas from Russia in POS-1. One would imagine the terms of POS-2 will be even better. As the number of natural gas customers shrink, countries like Russia, Turkmenistan and Myanmar would be even more eager to send their NG to China
Cheap energy will be a huge advantage going forward
Its a toss up. From my casual understanding, I don't think POS 2 is strictly needed because by the time it gets done (2030?) China would be going full throttle with renewables.Is PoS 2 going to happen? China doesn't seem to be putting too much attention to it, rather focusing on Turkmenistan
China on track to triple its terawatt-scale wind and solar target
The research arm of American banking giant Goldman Sachs has concluded that China is currently on track to generate almost three times more power from wind turbines and solar panels than the government has targeted.
According to a report published by Goldman Sachs in late March, combined capacity from China’s solar and wind energy sector will reach 3.3 terawatts (TW) by 2030.
This far outstrips the Chinese government’s current target of 1.2TWh.
Seems China will be needing Russia less and less with each passing year. However, Russia is needed for strategic reasons as they are the only major/powerful ally on China's side to help balance US and her allies.Its a toss up. From my casual understanding, I don't think POS 2 is strictly needed because by the time it gets done (2030?) China would be going full throttle with renewables.
And for backup, coal plants are going to be used. Russia IMO needs to come up with a lucrative offer for China to accept it.
Don't forget this news:
Well yes, my points were strictly about economics, but from a strategic perspective it could be argued that POS2 is necessary to help Russia.Seems China will be needing Russia less and less with each passing year.

This is actually hilarious.Xinjiang Products made with forced labour are , US commission hears
Testifying to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), scholars and activists recommended that the US put more Xinjiang-origin products under prioritised scrutiny, blacklist more Chinese firms and push allies for broader import bans to leave “no safe harbour” in the world for Xinjiang goods.
Representative Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey and chairman of the CECC, said he had sent a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday requesting a visa to visit Xinjiang.
“I’d like to lead a delegation there,” Smith said. “I hope we would have unfettered access to the camps and to talk to officials there and, above all, to talk to individual Uygurs without any fear of retaliation.”
American companies “have not all responded enthusiastically”.
China should get some low level immigration officer to reply that he should apply for his visa via the normal proceduresNo way that mfer though I will write an angry letter to president Xi he will most definitely let me visit the region so I can create more propaganda reports.
