There have also been rumors that a Cymer EUV source was intercepted during transit and reverse-engineered in a covert Chinese lab. But even if individual components were acquired, Tom's Hardware notes that such efforts are unlikely to produce a working system. Without the integrated software and supplier collaboration that make EUV viable, the hardware alone is effectively inert.

"China will never achieve domestic lithography!"

->

"China will never make a domestic 90nm node!"

->

"China will never achieve 20nm nodes via DUV!"

->

"China will never achieve 7nm nor EUV!"

->

"China will never get their EUV prototype working!"

Article seems like cope.
