I guess time will tell.
The patterning machines used for the leading node isn't exported to China due to export restrictions. Only the Dutch company ASML is able to manufacture these patterning machines.
Meanwhile, they have 14nm.

"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabil…
It's wishful thinking to hope that people realize there's more in common than differences. Class/racial strife is the most effective bludgeon remaining, unlike traditional nations surrounded by enemies where suspicions can be inflamed effectively (ex: "It's the '-ists!'").

That doesn't mean I think the CCP is 'good', but 2 things can be true at the same time.

The next shoe to drop will be if ASML cuts off Chinese chipmakers. ASML absolutely dominates fab tech.
Or the Dutch government bows to pressure from the US and makes the decision for them.

I don't think it will take long to surpass ASML if the state commits to it and decides the ASML patents don't matter any more. There's enough public knowledge about EUV to clone the machines if starting with unlimited financial resources and no legal constraints.

Yeah, exactly. TSMC has the premier process right now and is at capacity making chips for Apple, Qualcomm and other high margin (i.e. well-paying) customers. Cutting off the oddball folks for PR reasons costs them nothing at the moment.
Huawei is bigger than Apple. It's not exactly an oddball.
