You would need to build an SSMB demo facility, and if they got that to work, then make a production facility.
Even if the funding came together reaching production would be many years away.
I think China is investing in many avenues towards EUV. It remains to be seen what will be funded in an actual working prototype.

If they could start testing an EUVL prototype using the SSRF, then that has the possibility of speeding up the timeline considerably. At least if the lessons can then be transferred to the SSMB facility itself.
It's already known that LPP EUV is being pursued as well as SSMB EUV, with the former likely to emerge into practical use quite a bit earlier than the latter.
But that is exactly why the news reporting about SSMB has been somewhat stupid and going into the typical clickbait headlines that makes it seem like SSMB is going to emerge in the near future in a practical form for EUV lithography, or that they are pursuing SSMB "instead of" more conventional LPP EUV.
Should be interesting how both of these designs will develop. Also this video has a weird vibe to it as if its a way to make sure that if China succeeds with SSMB EUV they can say China stole it from the west...
Joking aside...
It does feel like China is on the right path, if others are also coming to the conclusion that shooting lasers to hit a tin drop isn't the way to scale down to the sub 1~3nm.
Using SSRF and also IHEP in Beijing, they had develop the optics, mask, photoresist and other related materials needed and validated for an EUVL And when the necessary power source are available, the Chinese EUVL will be production ready at the get go. We all had an inkling that we may see a prototype using LPP next year and SSMB in 2025.
With all due respect for the content YT creator, most of his information came from this forum. He may denied it BUT at least give respect where Respect is due.Should be interesting how both of these designs will develop.

Is China hyping up SSMB really stupid? Mislead your opponents about your experimental physics projects while you secretly develop LPP-EUV machines. Definitely not the first time China uses strategic misdirection on its secret R&D projects.
Same thinking here bro BUT this time both are real, I'm expecting an official unveiling of an EUVL LPP in October 1 2024, the 75th anniversary of PROC, a month before the US presidential election, a parting gift to Brandon and a welcoming one for Trump.
