when China finally cracks EUV we might be able to afford PC parts again?

oddly cheering for this but I doubt it will end well

They are not cracking EUV, they are finding ways that actually scale. Chips can be much cheaper than they are currently. I mean yes, obviously we cannot be confident ntil it happens, but they are already making 5nm with DUV.

When China leads chip making the rest of the world is just vasal states.

Yes it will not end well because Amurica will put a crater in the middle of the fab if it ever becomes viable.
