Reply to comment by joncash in Putin expects China's Xi to visit in spring, wants to boost military cooperation by BeautyInTheNegitive

LOL. China doesn’t have anything close to the tech to do what ASML was doing 5 years ago, let alone what they are doing currently.

China can’t control ASML and China cannot become ASML.

Even if China did find a way to create their own fabs and replace ASML domestically that would not make them the sole source of advanced semiconductors. ASML would still exist and would still be more advanced than the (currently fictional) Chinese alternative.

And of course, even if you can somehow design the lithography machines you also need to design the advanced chips themselves. China has neither skill set or technology currently.

I feel like I shouldn't even respond with how little you know. Before we proceed, if you can't answer these questions, it's quite pointless.

  1. Which company is China's version of ASML

  2. Their new lithography machines, what's their resolution, with multiple patterning how far can they go.

  3. What did Huawei just release a patent for?

  4. Which company achieved greater than 200 layer 3D NAND first?
