The so called US direction is actually Donald Trump's direction! The world is so messed up following his direction, look at the covid-19 situation!!

Tsmc has no worries to fill sales order, a long queue of customer awaits them as they have mastered top quality wafer manufacturing ∼ which these customer depend on to bring future advanced products to market.

Apple silicon chips for their macs will be fulfilled at tsmc as well, since they are migrating from intel to their own architecture.

Huawei can always get their chips from SMIC. It's just that they are 2-3 process nodes behind tsmc and the chips will be slower, hotter and consumes more battery. The only problem is, SMIC also uses US and other western equipment to fabricate chips. :s22:

Long ago, when US banned Tiong from participating in International Space Station, Tiong started to make its own, and the assembly is in progress.
And the existing ISS had to force to extend beyond its expiry date this year, else no other ISS liao.

Long ago, US deliberately screwed up GPS readings ofTiong's ship and missiles. Tiong started to make its own. Now they have completed Beidou.

Now US forcing AMSL and TSMC to boycott Tiong on semiconductor. You just wait and see.

China been trying to rip off ASML how long already??

Semicon not like making a pair of shoes.

Maybe one day China will make but the cost in time and money would have been enormous.

UMC I think also got a 14nm capable fab in Xiamen.

As you say almost all Semicon equipment one can confidently use is manufactured outside of China.

Fair play to them for giving it a go as the money they have pumped into Semicon in the past decade as been great for the industry.

Will see how should they pull the plug , who will replace it?
