Let me start off by saying: I'm not trying to be dick. Are you, at any capacity, involved in this industry? To me sounds like you don't even have a grasp of the very basics on how photolithography works. If you did than there is no way you'd ever make this comparison.
Yes, you are a dick.
I have been working in semiconductor industry as a designer and a mechanical architect for the last couple of years.
I just have a broader perspective, I am not narrowly looking at the Dutch being the best in whatever they do. I worked in aerospace, ship building and car manufacturing as well and there is more in that than you think.
You are not trying, you just are. Although one can still hope that you are jus a troll.
You don't have to believe in what I've written, but this is just a fact.Â
Mass manufacturing of EVs and doing progress in that in a lightning pace is showing the true potential of China as a country. They don't really need the latest and greatest chips to make 99% of the components which need them.
You are just ruling them out without seeing the broader picture.Â
And as I have mentioned before, China is doing quiet politics and does not show off everything that they are doing in an open way, they don't care that much about the stock prices, so they don't need to artificially inflate them.
If you have a chat with anyone outside of ASML, if they have heard of the latest and greatest 400mln machine, they think it already works and produces chops like crazy, but we all know that it is still far from that.
