Secondo quanto riferito, la Cina ha scoperto di aver effettuato il reverse engineering della litografia DUV dell’ASML

This is probably the tit of tat that the Netherlands recently did with acquiring Nexperia by force, or China knows taking Taiwan in 2027, is going to render TSMC useless and all those TSMC trained techs would have been evacuated already to US/Europe with their ASML Machine knowledge.

Next thing is China might use Singapore company, to buy the ASML DUV machine, and have the Singapore techs dismantle. This time just say “Oh yea we dropped a spanner and tried to find it” or just do it slowly pieces every few months to not make it look sus. If china can consistently make 7nm chips, then that might be enough for them to drive their tech. Until they capture someone or bribe them to spill the beans on cutting edge EUV.

China got around the sanctions with Nvidia AI GPU Limits, via getting them from country (Like Singapore which is unsanctioned and maintains good relations with everyone).
