oh, that Dead District A$$hole... He is far right neo-imperialist nutjob from Georgia (IIRC) that worships the US and its military. 3 years ago this a$$hole blocked me because I dared to call out the US for its illegal occupation of Syria.

How feasible is it? If the US enforces a total blockade on US related things with all the major countries involved in semiconductors via trade agreements. Then the subsidiaries will have to use 100% alternatives to remain compliant with the restrictions.
Except the government will prioritized domestic equipment for domestic Chinese companies. As they aren’t going to prop up South Korean companies when Chinese companies are more important. More likely scenario may be South Korea selling off all their Chinese fabs.
Look at this way, is there any downside if we sell some semi equipment to SK company in China? just look at the PR it generates PLUS an additional major FAB company validating your equipment, it will create a technical loop of feedback that is very beneficial to the entire Chinese semiconductor industries.
But does the capacity exist? If the China hawks can successfully ramp through their blockade via trade agreements. Then those ASML lithography cannot be used anymore by South Korea in those subsidiaries unlike banned Chinese companies who can continue via 3rd parties maintenance. With SMEE limited lithography production and slow ramp up. Why should the government prioritized the survival of South Korean fabs in China over the ramp up of Chinese fabs?
From what I know ASML establishing a Maintenance center in Beijing is to service all of their machines.
SMEE is an integrator, as had been discussed in the Semiconductor thread, all the major components provider had finished their expansion plan. 2025 is the year of mass adoption while 2023 is the inflection point as the testing and validation had finished their development.
BBC back to their negayive CN coverag?
Anyway maybe younger CN generations could be better than the current senior team?

That's not even news, anyone with remote knowledge of China knows that soccer is China's 国运平衡器。
At this point, the BBC has less value then a limp noodle given right now’s current predicament. Maybe the UK should stop antagonizing everyone and focus on itself unless they want to eventually be blasted for not shutting up once’s it’s sugar daddy breaks itself given Trumps current madness
It is more along the lines of if the US will allow the operations to continue. Because if they deem South Korea violating their agreement (if it happens) by the continuous use of ASML machines. The Trump Admin isn’t going to shy away from using severe economic coercion on South Korea.
Their words are basically, Your either with or against us.
I find it hard to believe SMEE can produce enough lithography machines to supply 5 South Korea manufacturing plants in China without jeopardizing the expansion and demand of domestic Chinese fabs.
Another anti CN news from india.
