China may have discovered a way to become a 5G chipmaking leader insteaed of a laggard

Lithography machines play an important role in the production of chips. They are used to etch patterns on wafers that show where transistors will be placed on chips. One of the biggest breakthroughs has been EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography). This creates extremely thin markings which are very important when you're dealing with chips like the upcoming 5nm Apple A14 Bionic which will be packed with 15 billion transistors inside.

Can China become a player in the chipmaking industry?
