We don't post random US stooges twitter post here. We keep this professional or at least semiprofessional.
The different between people here and US think tank stooges is that we slap with facts. We don't use random social media crap as evidence, opinions are no relevant.
Even Chinese industry insiders I think have been caught by surprise.
It's quite possible he has insiders contact in China. But we should not confuse the people who work in the industry with the people making the breakthroughs to catch up with ASML. The latter is a subset of the former. I've always believed that many Chinese companies are ran by dinosaurs and should not be assumed to be competent simply because they are Chinese. It takes real talent, drive, and ambition to disrupt an industry, and the reality is, most people don't have it in them. Thus the need to focus on those who few who do.
Jingce Electronics brought its self-developed new product [GI-ICM-CP area array full-color luminance meter series]
[GI-ICM-CP Area Array Full-Color Brightness Meter Series] adopts special coated prism spectroscopic technology to achieve color-free crosstalk; with prism technology, it can receive all photons without energy loss; a single exposure can simultaneously complete the RGB three-channel sub-image mutual brightness extraction, and the efficiency of pixel-level brightness measurement and defect assessment is increased by more than 3 times. [GI-ICM-CP Area Array Full-Color Brightness Meter Series] is based on the industry's original multi-sensor multi-channel design, redefining the boundaries of AR optical measurement, and can be widely used in OLED/Micro-OLED/Micro-LED/LCD and other fields.
GI-NED-CF Near-Eye Display Imaging Colorimeter Series achieves a full range of 120,000 nit-0.01 nit, with a linearity of ±1.5%, breaking the overseas technology monopoly; sub-pixel calibration reduces dizziness, and is widely used in AR /VR/MR display measurement and evaluation.
GI-TVCM Multi-view Spectrometer Series is equipped with a self-developed ultra-wide-angle lens. It is not affected by filter matching and can simultaneously measure 6-11 different viewpoint spectral data, restore the real optical path, with high accuracy, fast speed, easy integration, and obvious advantages.
GI-ICM-CF filter-based imaging colorimeter series is equipped with a TEC cooling technology sensor to achieve sub-pixel brightness extraction, excellent multi-machine consistency, and has a measurement stability far superior to that of industrial cameras.
Well, there is a lot of "dinosaurs" in the semiconductor industry in general but yes there is a lot of ambitious people that are taking the opportunity of the void left by foreign companies. I there also has been a significant shift in the culture inside China thanks to US sanctions on how they view the technology produced in the country, people are becoming more confident in domestic technological capabilities.
The invention addresses the need for a droplet generation system capable of precisely applying ultrasonic energy to metal droplets, improving energy conversion efficiency while enabling control over droplet size, spacing, frequency, and speed. It also provides an Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light generation device incorporating this system.
Key Components of the Droplet Generation System:
- Focused Ultrasonic Device: Positioned above the droplet generator, it emits focused ultrasonic waves to perturb droplets. This ensures uniformity ("monodisperse") and precise control over droplet characteristics.
- Subcomponents of the Focused Ultrasonic Device:
- Signal Generator: Produces ultrasonic waves of a specified waveform.
- Power Amplifier: Adjusts the intensity of the ultrasonic signal.
- Focused Ultrasonic Transducer: Uses a spherical cap piezoelectric ceramic to focus and transmit ultrasound.
- Conical Rod: Conducts focused ultrasound toward droplets. Its adjustable small end allows fine-tuning the focal point. A coupling agent (e.g., gel) ensures efficient energy transfer between the transducer and the rod.
- Arc-Shaped Fixed Cover: Secures the transducer and part of the conical rod, ensuring structural stability.
- Subcomponents of the Focused Ultrasonic Device:
- Technical Specifications:
- Diameter (D): 1 mm ≤ D ≤ 200 mm.
- Frequency (F): 20 kHz ≤ F ≤ 20 MHz.
- Focusing Methods: Includes unit lens, multi-element facet, single annular self-focusing, or phased array ultrasound.
- Energy Efficiency: Enhances ultrasound transmission efficiency, reduces power consumption, and lowers operational costs.
- Precision Control: Enables bidirectional (vertical/radial) droplet perturbation and improves spatial accuracy of ultrasound-driven droplet manipulation.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Utilizes standard components, avoiding high-cost specialized structures.
- Scalability: Adjustable parameters (e.g., conical rod position, frequency) allow adaptability to different applications.

Important "core" products:
- Mass flow controller
MFC, or mass flow controller, is an indispensable high-precision instrument in modern industrial process control. It can accurately control and measure the mass flow of gas and plays a vital role in many industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, chemical engineering, biomedicine, aerospace, etc. Pioneer Yuanchuang Precision has created a matrix of four series of MFC products, V/P/T/E, which can meet customers' various industrial customization needs. Among them, the V100/VG80 series MFC adopts the original design of "dual valve + pressure drop + position sensor", and its performance is better than the industry's Tier1 products. It has the characteristics of fast response speed (start and stop time ≤100ms), high measurement accuracy (±0.5% SP), wide measurement range (2-100% FS), strong self-diagnosis ability (less maintenance TCOO), etc. With the powerful performance of MFC, Guangdong Pioneer Yuanchuang Precision Technology Co., Ltd. won the third prize of SEMICON CHINA 2025 Product Innovation Award!

Having contacts is pretty useless if you’re not informed and intelligent enough to know what useful information is.
