[Semiconductor need]Wow , make china great again! Huawei file patent for EUV equipment to make chips!

For those wondering whats big deal, it's always thought the dutch company ASML is the only one who can make such machines, now china show it can do it too!


Here's the background:

 

[laksaboy]

What good is a patent when half the country (at least) is going to die soon?

 

[blackmondy]

Tiong-Cock can only invent deadly viruses, not EUV.

Good news!

Probably stole the technology from the various foreign companies forced to do a jv if they want to conduct business in china.

Let's talk about this ONLY AFTER at least 1 set is built and in full production with good yield of at least 90%. Otherwise, to talk only is cheap.

Furthermore, if China is truly capable of building such a machine by itself, they don't have the need to be so desperate as to file a complain to the WTO presently against America for imposing high-end chip sanctions to China. So, just see for yourself who is bull-shitting. Everyone should know by now that bull-shitting has been China's main forte ever since civilization had started.

Key Points

• China initiated a dispute against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization over Washington’s sweeping semiconductor export curbs.
• In October, the U.S. introduced rules that restricted chips made using American tools from being exported to China, which effectively kneecapped China’s semiconductor industry.
• The Chinese Ministry of Commerce confirmed the trade dispute in a statement Monday and accused the U.S. of abusing export control measures and obstructing normal international trade in chips.

The U.S. has brought in sweeping measures to cut China off from high-tech semiconductors, hobbling the chip industry in the world’s second-largest economy. China has hit back against the measures, beginning an official complaints procedure against the U.S. through the World Trade Organization.

China initiated a dispute against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization over Washington’s sweeping semiconductor export curbs that look to cut the world’s second-largest economy off from high-tech components.
In October, the U.S. introduced rules that restricted chips made using American tools from being exported to China as well as any semiconductors designed for artificial intelligence applications. The move has effectively kneecapped China’s semiconductor industry.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce confirmed the trade dispute in a statement Monday and accused the U.S. of abusing export control measures and obstructing normal international trade in chips and other products.
It said that the WTO dispute is a way to address China’s concerns through legal means.
Washington has maintained that its export restrictions are in the interest of national security.
China’s dispute on chips comes days after the WTO ruled that tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on steel and aluminum imports violated global trade rules. China was among the countries that brought action against the U.S.
Trade disputes via the WTO can take years to resolve. China has taken the first step known as a request for consultations. The WTO also has provisions in its rules that allow countries to impose restrictions in the interest of national security. This could make it difficult for China to win this particular dispute.

“If this is the response to the export controls, it suggests that China has limited options,” Pranay Kotasthane, chairperson of the high tech geopolitics program at the Takshashila Institution, tweeted on Tuesday.
“Given that WTO has exceptions for national security concerns, which can be defined broadly, it’s unlikely to result in any policy changes.”
A spokesperson for the U.S. Trade Representative was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
But spokesperson Adam Hodge told Reuters on Monday that the U.S. has received the request for consultations from China in regards to the semiconductor export restrictions.
“As we have already communicated to the PRC (People’s Republic of China), these targeted actions relate to national security, and the WTO is not the appropriate forum to discuss issues related to national security,” Hodge said.
