As the Americans already found out and is in total panic, Huawei will fab themBig question is who will fab them???? Has Huewei has a magic solution???? Let's hope n wish for the best.

I would think it a 150 million industry by your example. The 100m paid to the Chinese company is the cost of the European company. It probably should not be counted again in the final output of the whole industry (which is the 150m sales price of all the chips).How does mixing Fabless companies like AMD and Pure-play companies like TSMC, work for this kind of comparison. Is it even realistic to mix sales from these two different type of companies?
For example, for a thought experiment imagine there are only two semi companies in the world. One is a Fabless company in Europe another is a Pure-play foundry in China. European company orders 100 million worth of chips from Chinese company. European company then adds a 50 million margin and sells the chips for 150 million. Now would you consider this a 150 million dollar industry (China 100 + Europe 50 ), or would it be considered a 250 million industry (China 100 + Europe 150). In the first scenario you would say China has a 66% market share. In the second scenario you would say China has only a 40% market share.
The article says china has 9% market share and Europe and Japan has 10% market share each. But I imagine China's fab output would be already higher than Europe
One of the brightest software engineer at Facebook is a very young Chinese .... Look no further to the success of companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon to see the value of software. The kind of money these companies bring in can power entire industries and strengthen the finances and economies of the countries they are based in. ...
A senior executive of a domestic advanced packaging equipment factory introduced to the author that the main difference between traditional packaging and advanced packaging is that the former "is to carry out post-processing such as patching and then wire bonding", while the latter combines patching and wire bonding into one process. Afterwards, according to the difference in technology, for example, to do flip chip, it is necessary to use the front-end manufacturing process such as ball mounting, electroplating, photolithography, etching, etc., which also brings about the difference of equipment.
Just as foundries are well-positioned, advanced packaging equipment is moving closer to front-end equipment. Since advanced packaging is more performed on the wafer level, the front-end manufacturing method is used to make the back-end connection circuit, and the similarity of the process flow makes the equipment used in the two roughly the same, except for flip-chip, such as 2.5D/3D package TSV The technology requires photolithography machines, gluing eye shadow equipment, wet etching equipment, etc.
This kind of equipment, which is required in both front-end manufacturing and back-end advanced packaging, has a unified name in the industry, that is, "middle way equipment", but from the current participants in the track, it is still the original Qiandao Equipment Factory dominates. The above-mentioned industry insiders said that because they are more familiar with the front-end process, compared with the traditional back-end packaging equipment factory, the front-end equipment factory has more advantages in this field .
@gelgoog thanks bro we have the same conclusion, so maybe with these unintended mishap, will that force ASML to diversify its supply chain? why not use Gigaphoton light source in the China market? since DUVL is allowed why not use some Chinese parts? There are many possibilities IF one is serious and IF the intended goal is to remain in China then embedded to it. That is sure and concrete signal rather than giving statement that further complicate things.The news are that ASML DUV production won't be impacted, but EUV production will. So this should have no impact on SMIC.
