I'm not mad at China. The underdog overcoming adversity is the most American thing ever.

The number one problem facing the U.S. (and largely Western Europe) is the fact that China is run by really smart people while the so called “democracies” are run by exceptionally stupid and corrupt clowns.

China has “ENGINEERS” to create technology; the United States has “LAWYERS” to use laws to stop technology from being created.

It is just so incredible.  
We got used to it. The phones, the chips, etc. It is only when you stop and really think about it how incredibly small those things are. I mean... I don't think we can truly comprehend it.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Impossible is Possible

I welcome any progress that China makes in any technology. USA and other western countries have no right to actively sabotage China, that is outright criminal. Go China!

China was already making photolithography machines back in the late1970s (as they did with 150 seat passenger planes), an industry started when Mao was alive. But the USA cajoled Deng, who came to power after a coup, to give up the programs in favor of buying mature products from the USA. China would still be happily buying billions dollars worth of chips from the US had trump not blockef the sales of high-end chips to China. The Chinese discovered that whatever industries they relied on their own efforts, such as their space program, super computers, high-speed railways, 6th generation fighters, electromagnetic catapult systems，etc. they always could excell and achieve great results. On the other hand, whatever they could easily buy from the  west, it invariably leads to frictions and ultimstely chokeholds and disasters. They learned a good lesson.

Allow me to give you a parallel: everytime we develop new antibiotics, antibiotic and resistance emerges get bacteria that would normally susceptible. No matter how hard we fight bacteria always fight back. What this video is demonstrating is called selection pressure. Once you introduce selection pressure, something will rise to the challenge and overcome that pressure.

China is doing this for survival, not punishing or fighting against anyone.  In time, ASML, TSMC, MICRON, INTEL, SAMSUNG and all the big guns in the world should file lawsuits to all the US  politicians, 2017-2929 (active/retired), for huge business losses coz what they've done (sanctions/prohibitions) is illegal/malicious/unscrupulous/uncivilised.  The US citizens should sue for inflation/financial hardship from arrogant import taxes imposed on Chinese imports.  All those political criminals should have their pensions stripped off in solidary confinement. What goes around comes around.

You are not completely honest about ASMLś position. The Dutch company would have sold these  machines gladly to China but America forbids it to protect themselves. So what China is doing now is basically punishing ASML for something they cannot help. I really like to see China punish these arrogant bastards who think they can get away with everything.

Best wishes to China.

Never bet against China.

other fun facts ..... the mirrors used in these machines .... Russian/soviet research ..... first Excimer lasers for DUV .... Russian/Soviet research ...... the Carl Zeiss factory making those mirrors was in East Germany for decades ...
guess who just built their first DUV machines ..... yep ... the Russians are coming - yep serial production of their own excimer lasers already  .....
there are  rumours of them using old /soviet X-ray lithography research ... basically skipping EUV ....
this idea that it is all "Western" technology is utter bollocks .....

Never underestimate the ability of the US to kick itself in the balls time and time again

Crazy how fast China is moving on this. ASML still has a huge lead, but I wouldn’t bet on that gap staying this wide forever.

The nail comparison really got me.

Not allowed to buy, just make it.

It's not that ASML does not want to sell to China, it's that they're not allowed to sell to China. It's a lose lose situation.

So we cant economically coerce china... why do we want to economically coerce china is my main question, why not work together for the betterment of humanity. Kudos to china for reinventing the wheel because of our stupidity as a species, while the money could have been used to save millions from starvation...

Y'all hear that that giant sucking sound Ross Perot was talking about... All our jobs going overseas.... China's kicking our ass because all these politicians sold us out we need to arrest all of them go back and arrest the ones that are retired
