This is a very painful but necessary growth process for China, no pain no gain... What would be really dangerous is if US reversed course and then lulled China into another false sense of security. I don't see that happening, they will only double, triple and quadruple down from here on out... but its up to China to survive and climb out of the IC Trap.
@9dashline bro fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ,shame on me. Fool me thrice shame on both of us. A shattered trust , sorry means nothing but an empty words with a disdainful act.

I don't think EUV lithography is even that hard. Just takes time and money. A rinky dinky Netherlands and Taiwan and Korea can do it, only reason bigger players haven't is because high cost of entry and low economic return due to niche market. Now it's a national security issue, China will definitely achieve it. Just a matter of when. Just like those who doubted China can ever master atomic bomb, satellites, jet engines, etc...all wrong!

The domestic EDA manufacturer Xinhua Zhang released a variety of new products, involving digital verification and a unified underlying framework.​

In this regard, Wang Libin, Chairman and CEO of Xinhuazhang Technology, said: “Nearly 300 employees of Xinhuazhang around the world have developed four new-architecture EDA verification tools from scratch in less than two years. The Smart V verification platform lays a solid foundation for a more intelligent system design process. On the road of independent innovation, the Xinhua Zhang is honored to receive the strong support of the government, industry, academia, and investment partners. In the future, we will continue to provide users with The evolution of the needs of the company is the core, technological innovation is the driving force, and advanced software development processes such as agile development and continuous integration are adopted to continuously polish the platform and products to make chip design simpler and more inclusive."

X-Epic was founded in March by Wang Libin, a former vice general manager at Synopsys China. Cadence vp TC Lin, joined X-Epic in August and Tiyen Yen of Cadence is joining X-Epic to run R&D.
This is what U.S. neocons do not understand, necessity is the mother of all inventions, the entirety of human civilization is built out of necessity. By barring companies Huawei and ZTE from buying their tech they have created a tech vacuum ready to be filled by ambitious, smart, dedicated Chinese individuals that in other circumstances they would have had to continue working low-key under the 'bamboo ceiling' of these western companies. Is like the rise of the mammals when the asteroid killed the Dinos.

I mean the US gov (under trump, but the Democrats probably also thought the same) thought that China would just bow down and sign Plaza accord 2.0 after hitting them with sanctions/bans.

But reality is they got surprised pickachu faced about the fact it just made China prioritise and acceralate their own domestic development.

And now? 骑虎难下, in other words hard to actually back down now (what are Americans gonna think? US allies? As well as the rest of the world, neutral or hostile to the US). It be the same as backing down and admitting loss (although they kind of already are doing that, just now less open/more behind the doors now).

Besides all the above, the infighting within the top of the US must be quite fierce now (lol they always talk about political factions and infighting in China with Xi faction etc. But they aren't immune from it either).

Taiwan and Korea didn't do EUV, they still rely on ASML. And the Netherlands didn't do it either, they rely on suppliers from the US and Germany. In fact a big part of the reason why Japan failed is because they tried to do everything domestically rather than relying on international suppliers. At that time (late 2000s) many companies were trying different methods of EUV. Cymer was the one pioneering LPP which wasn't necessarily seen as the most promising at the time. You never know where the best of the best will come from. It could be anywhere. Thus you need the flexibility to use supplies from anywhere in the world. Only once you have the best supplies can you integrate the best product. This is the problem with a "self-sufficiency drive" of trying to localize everything.

But China is so big unlike Japan and Now there is national drive to build lithography machine and many universities, research institute, private companies were involves. So they try many approaches What make you think China only follow one approach. Like in this video skip to the very last minute They talk something about laser I don't understand maybe some one here can explain
