They're at least a decade and a half behind the West. At the current rate, they're able to mimic 7nm only with atrocious yields. This isn't something you learn your way out of, because there are fundamental technological jumps that need to be made to go to high yield that don't come naturally from maxing out older lithographic techniques.
