Both the older synchrotrons at Shanghai and Beijing are fully reserved for uses in physics and molecular biological experiments which doesn't leave much room for X-ray lithography research and development. However the new Beijing synchrotron under construction and schedule to be finish in 2025 should help in the research and development of X-ray lithography.
That's not true. Lithography research does take place at these synchrotrons.

Abstract: As the next generation of lithography technology, extreme ultraviolet lithography has been given the mission of saving Moore′s law by the industry. Extreme ultraviolet photoresist is one of the core sub-technologies of extreme ultraviolet lithography. The inspection of its resolution, roughness, sensitivity and outgassing conditions is a necessary condition for the development of extreme ultraviolet photoresist and it is also an important part to optimize the resist performance. Extreme ultraviolet interference lithography based on synchrotron radiation is currently the most suitable method for testing the performance of extreme ultraviolet photoresist. According to related research and development needs, an extreme ultraviolet photoresist inspection platform based on this method has been established in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF). By continuously improving the stability of the device, developing independent beam splitting grating mask manufacturing technology, and constantly exploring and optimizing the corresponding interference exposure process, the current inspection resolution has reached below 20 nm, which basically meets the corresponding requirements for the 7 nm process node of extreme ultraviolet lithography.July 2022 investment on semiconductor manufacturing process startups in China EDA, OPC lithography, Materials and equipment.

Confusing translation: "Yangtze River Storage National Storage" is really YMTC.
that is the real Chinese name of the company translated to English
What do you guys think will be the effect of a Huawei like blacklisting on YMTC? Will it be pushed out of the high end market or will it manage to make do with domestic equipment?
Also, why doesn't China retaliate against Micron and Western Digital?
50-60% of the global chip production is consumed by China, this seems like a supermassive leverage. Banning all products containing their memory chips from entering China would completely ruin them. It shouldn't be very difficult for firms to replace Micron/Western digital with YMTC or even Samsung and SK Hynix.
