       Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the   
       prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor. It was   
       built by a team of former engineers from Dutch   
       semiconductor giant ASML (ASML.AS), who reverse-   
       engineered the company's extreme ultraviolet   
       lithography machines or EUVs, according to two people   
       with knowledge of the project. ...   
      
       In April, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said that China   
       would need "many, many years" to develop such technology.   
       But the existence of this prototype, reported by Reuters   
       for the first time, suggests China may be years closer   
       to achieving semiconductor independence than analysts   
       anticipated. ...   
      
       "The aim is for China to eventually be able to make   
       advanced chips on machines that are entirely China-made,"   
       one of the people said. "China wants the United States   
       100% kicked out of its supply chains." ...
