Huawei is not in the business of making semiconductor machines, just like Apple and Ericsson are not. If you claim Huawei is stupid, you might also say Apple and Ericsson are stupid by not making their own chip machines and semiconductors.
Huawei paid for Qualcomm 3G and 4G patents. All 5G chips need to be backward compatible with 3G and 4G standards. This means the Chinese can make the chips that they want if they can use all Chinese machines. There is no one saying they will buy from Qualcomm.
It does not make sense at all what you are saying that blocking Chinese companies that have very limited US operations will ensure the USD remains the key currency.
If digital payments were done in the United States, they still would be in US Dollars and not RMB.
The question of the key currency that people and businesses accept, is not based on tricks. It is based on confidence and usage.
I am pretty sure this forum has members who know people who are rich. Now ... do you think the 1% are tricked this easily about matter regarding their money?
Never.
Impossible.

China has mastered the technology to produce high purity fluorine-containing electron gas needed in integrated circuits.
This is good news for all the aging societies in the world.

This is news that is important.
SMIC may manage to make progress to 7nm, but it's completely irrelevant unless it's done with indigenous equipment. Some random company may design a new chip, but it's completely irrelevant if it cannot be fabricated on domestic equipment.
They need to spin off hisilicon or create a couple of independent chip designer companies. Then smic can make chips for them using their 7nm process.
That's not a solution. they will find an excuse to sanction SMIC. only solution is to get rid of US equipment.
Look at the power output of EUV light sources used in photolithography. Then increase that by maybe 30% (depending on the wavelength of the x-ray). That’s roughly the amount of power you would need for an x-ray source to generate the same number of photons as an EUV source appropriate for a lithography scanner.
And, no, no one is going to build a mile long particle accelerator for each scanner. This approach doesn’t scale for industrial purposes.
Oh thank god I was beginning to wonder if we were ever getting an intervention.
