Rumors say that under Trump governance, the US administration did already pressure ASML (netherlands/germany) not to sell advanced litography tools to China. I don't know what's going on here, but it seems China has to do its own R&D and has to build its own leading-edge chip manufacturing tools. Very probably, it is going to be very hard in an authoritative regime, because to setup such industry, everybody's brain has to be comfortely and positively motivated (greed/material comfort/stability/security/etc).
