@wf645 iI think these guys are being China specific Biden has not changed much of the Trump rhetoric And frankly I would argue there is a few things that Americans can agree on Other than China, China , China is bad bad bad Just about the only disagreement is the argument from both sides, as to who has done more against China

@ensaw5486 ⁠ ⁠Actually China has managed to make a homegrown Lithography machine albeit one that creates legacy type/level 28nm chips Where they are using their proprietary layering/patterning technique to get down to that 7nm/5nm So yes one could argue they are behind from a sanctioning standpoint But from an all out war standpoint where a Country has been cut off from inputs from other countries? I look at it as a China is ahead Because really that is the worst case scenario the USA/West is envisioning. As that being the reason they have sanctioned/cut off China right now That’s the biased criteria we put on China they need to be making that 100% homemade semiconductor chip From that 100% homemade Lithography machine right down to the screws and Rare Earths required to make the lithography machines in the first place Where ASML sources 85% of what goes into making their lithography machines from around the world
