China is accelerating its semiconductor self-sufficiency with the development of domestic deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, challenging ASML's market dominance. This move, driven by US export restrictions, creates long-term risk for ASML's significant China revenues, even though ASML retains its monopoly on more advanced EUV technology.
