China always has the money and tech know how to go chip independent, the issue is that it's expensive so many private Chinese companies just buy the cheap option.
Sure. But if China government has started the project long time ago and treat it as a manhattan project, i believe it shouldn't be too long for China to close the gap.
The EUV photolithogrhapy is the most difficult, the marvel technology that require intense R&D and long experience. In this world only Dutch's ASML master this technology, even leaving Canon and Nikon the long experienced lithography vendors in the dust. I believe for size below 7nm only EUV can handle efficiently.
