That's a bit hyperbolic don't you think? Sure, they're the only game in town when it comes to the leading edge nodes (eg. 3nm), but there's plenty of options at 14 nm and above. That corresponds to AMD zen (released in 2017) and Intel skylake (released in 2015). They're significantly worse than the latest and greatest CPUs today, but they're still in use today. I'd hardly call that as "going back to the stone age".

How would China do that exactly? None of their bombers have sufficient range.

They have intercontinental ballistic missiles. If needed, they can be retrofitted with non-nuclear payload.

China launching any kind of missile at ASML is WW3

The Chinese aren't stupid enough to do that. Any launch of ICBMs at a NATO country would be interpreted as a possible nuclear attack and draw an immediate US counterforce strike.

No, you'll just have to learn how to write software again.
