> Until China can produce its own fab equipment Nobody in this world could make such sophisticated equipment alone. Unfortunately this is truth, which is not studied in typical University. Even more - in Russia Universities teach people, some sort of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche And their government constantly spend huge resources for propaganda, to keep people minds in this perverted world. So Russians believe on some esoteric things. For example they believe, that Russia grows, when isolates from world (this is not true). This is totally typical way of totalitarian societies - they create their own closed mythology and once isolate from truth so much, so they do weird things, and then fatal things, like Russian invasion to Ukraine, which for my believe have started countdown for disintegration of Russia. I'm not too much philanthropist, I just know too much about Israel, which suffer from constant visits of terrorists from the poorest countries around it. I prefer to have something like North Korea - mostly harmless country-museum.

A couple of countries (USA and Germany) basically have a monopoly fab equipment production, and keep the secrets of such production closely guarded. Until China can re-invent semiconductors on their own (an inevitable event, but probably not anytime soon), they are reliant on the west to product any semiconductors at all.

  Monopoly is not this case. This is case of extreme complexity, which could not handled by one country, even by so big country. In reality, all G7 economies involved in semiconductor produce, and they also use lot of resources of other countries - this is how reality look. When somebody will create General AI, capable to substitute scientist, but to be strict, when this somebody will have thousands or maybe 100s thousands of such artificial scientists, this somebody will have opportunity to make his own semiconductor monopoly, but not earlier.
