China reverse engineering EVERYTHING if you think they can't, you clearly don't see previous history, they aren't fast but they WILL do it eventually, if there's enough motivation (sanctions or/and profit)
While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn't be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.
Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn't that simple.
Believe it or not the state of Oregon also...intel is getting their second high-na euv from ASML soon
If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it
