As if the ASML machines were all that is needed for making cutting edge semiconductors. Why TSMC is in Taiwan and not in Denmark then?

Because the Taiwanese government paid for it to be there in the 80's

I assume you are referring to yourself? It is well know that none of the semiconductor equipment manufacturing is not in Asia due to the PRC. So you get fabs, but not equipment to produce fabs or keep fabs running (all by design, so China doesn't gain much if they take over Korea, Japan, or Taiwan).

How do you think Huawei managed to produce 7nm processors without Western EUV tools lately? Get on with the times instead of living in the past

Don't ask them about their yields if you don't want them to lose face.

Nice moving goal posts around :) BTW what's the yield on Intel's 7nm process? Seems it's 0% LOL

As TSMC did 7nm DUV
