Some company in China just duplicated ASMLs shtick, didn’t they ?
Yes and no. It’ll still take many years to get to the same level. ASML has a huge head start
Like the headstart Germany had in solar, high speed rail, and automotive?
Those aren’t nearly as advanced as these high end lithography machines. A more apt comparison is a space race. But you’re right, it doesn’t last forever
