Only the companies on that Ban List are prevented from trading with TSMC. Unisoc is not yet on that list. But it is a rapidly growing list and if Unisoc starts taking significant market share from Qualcomm they could end up on that list.

There's a small chance. Towards the end of 2020 there were reports that TSMC was able to secure a license from USG to supply mature products (which the media speculated to be 28nm and above) to Huawei. But not sure Huawei would go for it, cause Mainland can already do 28nm and above. Also that mature definition would most likely exclude 5G related products, so I don't think that license would be of much use to Huawei.
Lmao
Samsung's foundry division is the 2nd largest foundry business in the world after TSMC.I think it is a matter of time before Unisoc gets the Huawei treatment. They are getting too successful for US' liking

what are you talking about? what "to set Unisoc a decade+" means?
I am pretty sure that Arfi lithography will be a non issue and EUV will be the most relevant problem to solve in the near future.
But sometimes I wish that the Americans put more pressure on Chinese companies in order to brake their slumber. I think without U.S. pressure, the China semiconductor industry ecosystem will go nowhere no matter how much money the government put money into them, there will be no pressure to incentivize the collaboration between sectors and develop long time goals.
In short they need the American pressure chamber in other to force Chinese companies to put short term shallow goals aside and become future diamonds.
They are ahead right now.
Not if the US goes into civil war first which is very likely. It's already started! US is destroying itself from within.
US sources all its chips from abroad. Only Intel has 10nm. Who will make US products at a certain quantify and quality of not china. US is already dealing with shortages and inflation. Going into stagflation.
