đ¨ BREAKING: CHINA JUST FIRED A SHOT AT U.S. TECH DOMINANCE đ¨
đ¨đł The chip monopoly may be cracking.
China is openly pushing to remove the United States from its semiconductor supply chains â completely.
And now comes the bombshell đ
đ§ China has reportedly built a prototype EUV lithography machine â
the holy grail technology required to manufacture the most advanced chips.
đ Source: Reuters
đĽ Why this is MASSIVE
Until now, ASML was the only company on Earth capable of producing EUV machines.
Each unit costs roughly $250 MILLION and is essential for chips used by:
⢠Nvidia
⢠AMD
⢠TSMC
⢠Intel
⢠Samsung
No EUV = no cutting-edge chips.
âď¸ China just took its first real step toward breaking that chokehold.
âď¸ Whatâs been achieved so far:
⢠Prototype EUV machine built in Shenzhen
⢠Successfully generates EUV light
⢠Currently in testing phase
⢠Not producing working chips yet
đŻ Timeline rumors:
2028â2030 for full domestic chip production using China-made tools.
đď¸ How they pulled this off
This is the payoff of a 6-year, state-backed semiconductor independence program â
often compared to Chinaâs version of the Manhattan Project.
Reports suggest:
⢠Former ASML engineers assisted in reverse engineering components
⢠Huawei is coordinating efforts across labs, suppliers, and manufacturers
𧊠The ultimate goal:
âĄď¸ Advanced chips
âĄď¸ Made in China
âĄď¸ On machines built entirely in China
đ Why this matters globally
If China succeeds:
⢠ASMLâs monopoly is challenged
⢠U.S. tech leverage weakens
⢠The global chip power balance shifts
⢠Supply chains get reshaped AGAIN
â ď¸ This isnât happening tomorrow â but the direction is clear.
đ§ Bottom line:
The semiconductor cold war just entered a new phase.
Watch this space VERY closely.
