Volume production of 14nm node is set for 2018.
So it is by no means impossible that SMIC may start trial production with 7nm process in 2020 or 2021.

[Friday 17 March 2017]
Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor plans to introduce a 16nm 8-core 3GHz PC processor series in 2018, according to company vice president Cheng Fu.
Zhaoxin's in-house developed ZX-D series processors built using 28nm process technology will start shipping in Lenovo's all-in-one (AIO) PCs in the second half of 2017, said Fu. Currently all Zhaoxin's CPUs are designed for Windows systems.
Zhaoxin is committed to promoting China's home-grown processors, Fu claimed.

Good JobChina to become largest semiconductor producer | SemiWiki
"According to data from SEMI and SEAJ, China purchases of fab equipment grew 180% from $2.3 billion in 2006 to $6.5 billion in 2016. Over the same period, fab equipment purchases declined 50% in Japan and 39% in both North America and Europe. South Korea grew 10% and Taiwan grew 67%. In 2016 China trailed behind Taiwan at $12.2 billion and South Korea at $7.7 billion. However, SEMI expects China will be the largest fab equipment market by 2019."
In order to catchup with Taiwan or TSMC, Other than organic expansion, Mainland IC capital should actively seek outbound M&A. See the info below, several non-Taiwanese firms are potential targets.

Among all, perhaps US-based Globalfoundries is a worthy target. Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment (ATIC) is said to have a willingness to sell it, however since Globalfoundries' 14nm process is licensed by Samsung Electronics, it is believed that Samsung is unlikely to agree to the acquisition bid from any potential competitor. Moreover, US government may still prefer ownership by Emerati not Chinese. Anyway let's see how this unfold.
It's always a two-pronged approach: organic expansion, as well as M&A. The later purpose was one mandate assigned to China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Co., Ltd.Just forget about acquisitions. Not happening.
Instead focus on poaching talent, and make use of good administered companies with a proven track record of success to fund them.
