Bro I miss those days....lol, I'm thinking what comes next after what we're speculate come true. I think I set my retirement in 2025 when China launch its EUVi SSMB as there are nothing more to do. The bottlenecks had been conquered and we (Huawei Fanboy) are becoming extinct.
The technology is still interesting. We do not have to retire yet. The political stuff would be duller in a way, because there could be less to fight over.
Personally speaking, I hope they don't stop with the bans!
Just for the record, just a timeline of articles, and/or rumours.
This is from new year's day 2022.

The article posted by tokenanalyst today, about China wanting to build a SSMB, that was well researched. Meaning that although the article has today's date on it, the material presented was already past news.

Then the last article from the South China Morning Post posted by mrandolph claiming a SSMB is going to be built.

It is the timeline of the articles. Original old news/rumour, summary of past news, and the news from SCMP. All the articles are the same, it that, they are indicating the same thing.
What is striking the SCMP article.
My view is that the SCMP is a disinformation outlet. Since they are reporting it now, something weird is happening. Either this facility is not being built, or it is already under construction. LOL.
SCMP has a real good record of just not knowing what is going on. Although they could be right occasionally. We have to bet against it.
