IIRC ... Russia should be the world's biggest exporter of grain such as wheat and Ukraine, which is controlled by Russia, is the other larger exporter of grain. No problem for China in that respect.
Rice, everyone seems to buy it from Thailand. Maybe even Vietnam would sell rice to China.
Corn is purchased from the Americans, but China produces a lot of corn. Soybeans come from America, Brazil, Argentina, whereas in the past, all soyabeans imported into China mostly came from America. Not anymore.
The Americans can ban their exports of foodstuffs to China, but China has others they can source things items from.
The keyword is "in difficult time" ... in normal time like now, of course there is no issues at all, as long as you have $ which China have huge $$$
sorry a bit off topic

Just goes to show how deep a sh*thole the US has dug for itself and how much deeper and bigger they would have to continue to dig if they really want to achieve their goal ("to freeze China capability in semiconductor manufacturing"). It's an unachievable goal in the best of scenario, and yet the US has to execute their policy as if it's a war-time embargo on China, going around the world to find and fix all the leaky holes. It'll become an obsession, largely driven by delusion and emotion, that it must "win."
There have been plenty of precedents where the US wanted to prohibit or freeze Chinese capabilities, but none of the them has been successful. On the contrary, each time China ends up developing its own indigenous capabilities and the corresponding technological and industrial base and getting rid of its dependency on the US/West. This time, semiconductor will be no exception.
As non Chinese,I firmly believe,Chinese will excell in semiconductors. The situation will be very different in a few years. I am really tired to see Uncle Sam's bullying. Sorry,off topic.
As I understand it, there is no domestic ArF photoresist been mass-produced yet

I agree and competition is only benefits the customers. Imagine if EUV machine price reduced to $50M from currently ~$150M .. who would get benefits? of course the customers
Remember what happened in 2000s until mid 2010s .. basically Intel dominated CPU without any competitors .. and the progress was extremely slow .. still 4 cores maximum and kept expanding 14nm technology ... see after AMD become competitive, suddenly Intel makes CPU with many cores and cheaper
Reading all the reply here makes me so confused. It feels like the whole Global South is rooting for SMEE to deliver the ArF DUVL. But delays after delays makes me think it is never gonna materialize. Because thats what happened with their 90nm Lithography Machine. I don't know why they have it in their website if it never went from prototype to an actual product
my prediction a few days ago ^^, thank your repost
