Wasn't that mostly for DUV ? I thought EUV was actually based on TSMC R&D.

Nope EUV is Cymer. TSMC, Apple and Huawei pooled talent and R&D on 7, 5, 3nm development so they could build their mobile chips. Probably because huawei had all that experience in 7 and 5nm they can guide SMIC in getting the yield up. Also dont forgot SMIC got a lot of top talent from TSMC.
