Yep our everyday smartphones are the result of the biggest technological achievement of humanity yet.
The precision work required to make the modern chips inside those phones is insane. The know how and technologies required to do it surpasses anything else humanity has done.
Just the friggin EUV “lamp” for a high end process is $400 million!!
You can’t just assemble that shit like a piece of IKEA furniture, and even knowing the composition of things, doesn’t necessarily tell you how to make it so it works.
But China has the resources to make the best minds and technologies available to make it succeed, and eventually they will. Because every development team in the world is working under the same physical laws, so with enough skill and resources, they will succeed because it’s already proven to be possible. And that’s the advantage the catch up team always has, they don’t need to doubt whether it’s even possible.

Anyone who has ever tackled a design problem knows exactly what this is about. It’s just a larger, more technologically advanced scale.
Having a target gets you there faster than throwing blindly.
Plus they have all the materials required.
