@VivekGRamaswamy Look at this dirty Indian 😂😂 remove China out of ur f mouth fooooool

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is an incredible story by Reuters: they reveal that China now has a working EUV lithography machine prototype, which makes China the only country in the world to have succeeded at replicating the ASML technology, years earlier than anticipated.

The machine apparently "fills nearly an entire factory floor". It's operational and successfully generates extreme ultraviolet light (what "EUV" stands for), but has not yet produced working chips.

The objective for the latter is 2028, which is a crazy fast timeline: ASML took 18 years to go from prototype to machines that could produce commercially-available chips, China aims to do it in 3.

The security measures around the project look insane. The employees work under fake identities so they don't know each other's real names. They work inside secure facilities where "no one outside the compound could know what they were building - or that they were there at all". They're divided in "teams who are kept isolated from each other to protect the confidentiality of the project," where "they don't know what the other teams work on."

For foreign employees, China exceptionally gave them Chinese passports and allowed them to maintain dual citizenship, which is normally forbidden under Chinese law.

This seems to be because some of the employees are former ASML workers such as Lin Nan, ASML's former head of light source technology (https://t.co/NEGEKd4JjS), who would be less vulnerable to Western sanctions under Chinese citizenship.

The salaries offered are apparently "uncapped" with "signing bonuses that started at 3 million to 5 million yuan" and "home-purchase subsidies".

This all means that we're looking, within a few years, at yet another self-inflicted wound by the West: the development, because of sanctions, of a serious competitor for Europe's most successful technology company (one of our very rare ones!).

And the worst part, for Europe, is that these sanctions weren't even initiated by us nor serve our interests: we just followed Washington's lead as usual, suffering the costs while getting no obvious benefit out of it. Quite the contrary in fact as all its doing is replacing a massive customer with a massive future competitor.

We, again, let ourselves be the chessboard on which others play. We just absorb the damage from both sides and have no voice in the game.

BREAKING:

🇨🇳 The monopoly is over

China has succeeded in producing an ultraviolet lithography machine for the production of advanced chips - Reuters

China built a prototype extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine in Shenzhen, the tool needed for the most advanced chipmaking, Reuters reports.

Until now, ASML is the only company that has truly cracked EUV technology.

Its machines cost about $250 million each and are critical for making the most advanced chips designed by Nvidia and AMD, and manufactured by TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.

The result marks the payoff of a 6-year government program focused on semiconductor independence.

People compared it to China’s version of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. wartime program that built the atomic bomb.

China's prototype reportedly generates EUV light and is being tested, but it has not produced working chips yet, with 2028 and 2030 mentioned as targets.

Sources describe former ASML engineers helping reverse engineer parts of the system, and Huawei coordinating a wider effort across labs and suppliers.

“The aim is for China to eventually be able to make advanced chips on machines that are entirely China-made,” one of the people said. "

China wants the United States 100% kicked out of its supply chains."

A lot of people seem to think that Huawei has side-stepped EUV and developed a method to scale to 1.4nm without it
But as u can see from their graph, a huge density & clock speed jump happens between 2030 & 2031

After the 2019 sanctions, Huawei started project Mount Everest in 2020
The goal was to develop and mass-produce EUV machines within 10 years
The tentative date of China's EUV is 2030 rn

Events in Hormuz make clear that there's no military solution to a political crisis.

As talks are making progress with Pakistan's gracious effort, the U.S. should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill-wishers. So should the UAE.

Project Freedom is Project Deadlock.

Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue. Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward U.S. gov conduct remains, while unconstructive & contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message; they seek Iran's surrender. Iranians do not submit to force.

At 2 pm 🇺🇸 Trump - I will cut off all trade and cooperation with Spain because of its refusal to support Israel.

After 2 hours 😂

At 4 pm - 🇪🇦 Spanish Prime Minister arrived in China with a clear message to Trump, there is an alternative.

Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations.

These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.

Iran destroyed the US airbase in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, Iran did launch missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
