China just took a major step toward breaking Western dominance in advanced chip making. According to Reuters, a locally built prototype EUV lithography machine the most critical tool for cutting-edge semiconductors is now being tested in Shenzhen. Until now, only one company globally ha mastered this technology. This milestone is the result of a multi-year state-backed push for semiconductor self-reliance, often compared to a Manhattan Project moment for China. While the system hasn’t produced commercial chips yet, targets between 2028–2030 signal a long-term plan to remove U.S. influence from China’s chip supply chain entirely.
