China has big plans for semiconductor industry and they include self reliance.

The restrictions imposed by two U.S. governments over the past six years aim to prevent Chinese firms from advancing in cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication processes, as the latter can be used to make chips that will boost China's military capabilities. In light of these constraints, Chinese chipmakers are collaborating with domestic WFE makers to develop and validate equipment, aiming to create production processes free from tools made in the Netherlands, Japan, and the U.S. China has established a new leading group under Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang to oversee semiconductor industry policy, signaling a shift towards a more centralized oversight model.
