China is a very long way away from being able to replicate ASML's lithography machines. Those fabs can't be replaced without European technology and the US would almost certainly manage to get an embargo through as a response to an invasion.
- cma 5y agoThe US already has an embargo on ASML EUV tech to China, because the US funded it all in the late 90s with DARPA and an industry consortium (EUV LLC.).
