@Wangxi Bro After Jiangsu Nata Opto had successfully developed a local alternative with capacity of 25 tons, the West are now willing to form a joint venture. It only shows the attractiveness of the Chinese Market, now let see if ASML will follow through Biden order of total ban sales of DUVL to SMIC IF it came to pass. And my guess ASML will object and may used Gigaphoton light source as a replacement for Cymer, arguing that China had an alternative in SMEE SSA800 DUVL and will only do more harm than good.China material maker Sinyang teams up with Heraeus to develop photoresists

What I'm excited about this joint venture is the competition with Nata Opto and it will accelerate the development of China photoresist and future materials for the EUVL program. An import substitution that will force Japan to manufactured their photoresist inside China to remain competitive.
I'm fairly certain that this has to be one of the most impactful decisions regarding semiconductor fabrication and development.New regulation promotes government purchase domestic equipments and instruments
@antiterror13 Sir self sufficiency is good BUT competition is even better, with 2 or more competing forces the quality and quantity will be top notch. And Sir the demand alone is huge, with gov't support like tax break and other financial incentives, others will follow suites as shown with the disruption of the supply chain, it's financial suicide not to do so.I do hope you are right bro @ansy1968
