So, you're saying that China has chip fabrication capabilities which are on par with the world cutting edge as of 2018:

not too shabby of a fall-back.





No, they don't.

Their "7 nm" relied on multi patterning DUV which leads to restrictive design rules, more steps and masks and lower yields, which is why I put it in quotes and said it's uncompetitive.

The last DUV node was 10 nm, that's the best logic node they have which is comparable to TSMC/Samsung/Intel's 10 nm.
