Well, we just have to keep an eye on whether Huawei does getting 5nm chips from Samsung.@Oldschool bro, if Samsung is able to do this, then others will follow and maybe ASML might establish a separate product line with older tech EUVL just for the Chinese market.
I heard TSMC wants to develope EUV lithography itself so it can cut cost and not restricted by US when dealing with China.
China cannot control what others will do so it must focus on its own development.
Here is one question, India or China , which one develope their military faster? India has alot of availability from foreign supplier while China got embargoed and restricted by many.
China has greater motivation to develope its own under embargo environment. Easy path is a trap.
