    It took them almost 20 years to make EUV machines that do it at scale. Canon and Nikon gave up on it.

    They also have many suppliers like Zeiss that may not be allowed to export to China, but I’m not sure about which ones are and which ones aren’t

      Things can be done a lot quickly if you are given an unlimited budget. Consider how quickly NASA got from nothing to landing on the moon, vs how long it is taking now with their much more limited budget.

        Yes, but it was the “next thing” since research started in like the 1980s

        It’s actually harder to do than landing on the moon.
