@NoName-of8dq They are different. China has no intention in this field of IC machine technology. So they are fond of buying them and making chips. But US puzzled policy force them to build their own machine. So they has started.

@Emilechen If you stress on human effort of Chinese people ,it is yes. They can do whatever Japan do and perhaps at higher level had they devoted doing. But In view off business, they as people who doing business in bloodline will focus onto any mean that make them great profit in less time effort. Good businessmen don't focus on doing everything themself but make it best efficiency way by distributed to anyone who do its best in his fields.

@Emilechen Japan development depend on patronage of the Anglo throughout the history. Apologize to say , Japanese is good in doing neat craftmanship. But they are not in creativity or innovation. Before WWII, Japan got knowledge from western countries mainly UK , make use it as a fence to block Russian empire which at that time expanding eastward. After WWII , Japan get patronaged from US in various sectors of industrials. Almost their products has been technology licensee from US. That told they are not capable on innovation. Ordinary people did not notice this. So they applause Japan on their products. China is different. Whatever technologies Japan can easily buying from US to make their products. But China cant buy. So its hard to compare among them. Japan in the past seems like Korea today. Living on patronage from US.

@Emilechen Germany is not unable to make spacecraft, aircraft carrier. But anything relevant to vital war machines, they're prohibited to do, as a loser in WWII. By the way, they have been made pay repatriate huge moeny from WWII while all their assets , factories and infrastructures were looted by the winner mostly US & UK. Even they intend to start building it , it seems too late.

The EUV light source were created by DOE fund. How can small private company alone cope with that.

@klaasbernd You are wrong!!! " China invests 10billion a year to develop their own lithography technology." China invest billions in setting up chips foundries , not lithography. They bought many line of machines from everywhere US , Japan even ASML. Until US puzzled policy had them start making their own lithography machine.

@NationChosenByGod Thats Japan electronic industries. They had glory in the past. And were devasted by US as US aware they were ruing down US IC industry. Later US bestow the Japan past industries to its Japan comparable vassal ,Korea.

@NationChosenByGod Thats not collaborate but distributed. Japan still live under US patronage and US give Japan some tech under it's control. Japan demands to get more F35 tech but US object. This is an example. Both Korea and Japan always licensed or buy US , EU tecnology. But in field of IC fabrication, US provides Korea higher tech machines. Thats why Korea win over Japan in this field.

@NationChosenByGod aesa equipment did not came from Japan. But Japan tried to make itself and used it in their F2 fighter. They claim its the 1st electronic scan airborne radar on earth. The result is as anyone expected ,poor performance , poor quality to unacceptable level had USAF evaluated them. T/R module on US fighter jets comes from Texas Instruments and Motorolla weapons division. Not Japan.

@NationChosenByGod AESA is beam forming technic. It was created by theory from the west. Nothing relate to Japan. All electronic equipments coping with such equalizer , phase shifting all were created by western engineer scientists. Japan was just allowing given tech blueprint to test building its own silicon chip transmitter. There were several to these iCs in US labs.

@NationChosenByGod That's why I told you of the poor knowledge of Japanese. They built aesa radar that gave poorer performance than TWT radar. US who had invented it knew well then they gave Japan trying.

@SaretGnasoh I think it is not pseudo brain cave build by western medias cartels.
