According to Reuters: "This is significant because news of the 9000S on a 7nm node caused a bit of a panic last year when U.S. lawmakers were confronted with the possibility that the sanctions imposed on Chinese chipmakers might not slow their technological progress after all," iFixit said.
New smartphones by Huawei are more reliant on domestic chips, and successfully competing with Apple domestically. It is only a matter of time before Huawei and other Chinese premium smartphone manufacturers start eroding Apple's smartphone sales in other countries, like India. USA can of course continue to use import restrictions or high tariffs to protect their domestic market from Chinese competition. So much for the free market and free trade.

The US has already lost. At this point I don’t understand what the US is trying to do with sanctions.
Eh 7nm is not exactly state of the art. Besides, it was only ever going to work until it didn’t, even in a best case scenario.
Have they caught up ASML and now can create photolithography machines by themselves? Or are they using the machines imported before the sanctions?
