You obviously fall into the trap of believing that hard science cares about politics, and that money thrown at problems as part of national strategic planning magically solves them. But for anyone else legitimately interested in understanding the topic better and having a glimpse at its complexity, those are great resources:

If the above is too advanced, this can serve as a good primer and answers "how the heck did we get there": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt9NEnWmyMo
Also, I never wrote that China will never get to EUV (or eventually something beyond that), just that it will take a very long time, because the complexity is spread across several very distinct scientific disciplines, integrating them is a challenge of its own (again, watch the videos), and packaging this into a system that meets the scale and reliability requirements to make it commercially viable hasn't been reproduced to date.
You definitely know you’re winning when you’re constantly complaining about your opponent. You hate communists yet allow them to live in your brain rent-free. Interesting.

Because every single thing must revolve around America, only one thing can be bad at a time, and if I'm not with you I must be against you.

I mean, it’s the most powerful empire ever to exist, one built on ongoing slavery and genocide. It’s difficult to find global problems that don’t lead back to the amerikkkan ruling class.

I mean, from here I see only one person feeling obliged to bring up:
America
Imperialism
Slavery
Genocide
IQ
boot licking
in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with this, and this person isn't me. So do yourself a favour and go babble with people who care.
Nothing is connected. We are all individual monads floating in a void, our interactions mediated entirely by the market.
