China has achieved in a few years what took ASML decades years to achieve. The imperialists are panicking. They are calling it "China's Manhattan Project":

In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance, Reuters has learned.

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 who reverse-engineered the company's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines or EUVs, according to two people with knowledge of the project.

EUV machines sit at the heart of a technological Cold War. They use beams of extreme ultraviolet light to etch circuits thousands of times thinner than a human hair onto silicon wafers, currently a capability monopolized by the West^1^. The smaller the circuits, the more powerful the chips.

^1^Not anymore, lol

China's machine is operational and successfully generating extreme ultraviolet light, but has not yet produced working chips, the people said.

In April, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said that China would need "many, many years" to develop such technology.^2^ 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.

^2^How embarrassing to be proven wrong not even a year later.

Nevertheless, China still faces major technical challenges, particularly in replicating the precision optical systems that Western suppliers produce.

^This is cope.

The availability of parts from older ASML machines on secondary markets has allowed China to build a domestic prototype, with the government setting a goal of producing working chips on the prototype by 2028, according to the two people.

But those close to the project say a more realistic target is 2030, which is still years earlier than the decade that analysts believed it would take China to match the West on chips.

Because China is not at all known for completing ambitious plans ahead of schedule. Oh wait...

Chinese authorities did not respond to requests for comment.

Why would they?

The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.

The project falls under the country's semiconductor strategy, which state media has identified as being run by Xi Jinping confidant Ding Xuexiang, who heads the Communist Party's Central Science and Technology Commission.

Chinese electronics giant Huawei plays a key role coordinating a web of companies and state research institutes across the country involving thousands of engineers, according to the two people and a third source.

The people described it as China's version of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. wartime effort to develop the atomic bomb.

“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."

Huawei, the State Council of China, the Chinese Embassy in Washington, and China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology did not respond to requests for comment.

Please China or Huawei, hire me as your PR person, let me write the replies to the comment requests. I only need three words: "COPE AND SEETHE"

Until now, only one company has mastered EUV technology: ASML, headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands. Its machines, which cost around $250 million, are indispensable for manufacturing the most advanced chips designed by companies like Nvidia and AMD—and produced by chipmakers such as TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.

ASML built its first working prototype of EUV technology in 2001, and told Reuters it took nearly two decades and billions of euros in R&D spending before it produced its first commercially-available chips in 2019.

“It makes sense that companies would want to replicate our technology, but doing so is no small feat,” ASML told Reuters in a statement.

ASML's EUV systems are currently available to U.S. allies including Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.

Starting in 2018, the United States began pressuring the Netherlands to block ASML from selling EUV systems to China. The restrictions expanded in 2022, when the Biden administration imposed sweeping export controls designed to cut off China's access to advanced semiconductor technology. No EUV system has ever been sold to a customer in China, ASML told Reuters.

The controls targeted not just EUV systems but also older deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines that produce less-advanced chips like Huawei’s, aiming to keep China at least a generation behind in chipmaking capabilities.

The U.S. State Department said the Trump Administration has strengthened enforcement of export controls on advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment and is working with partners "to close loopholes as technology advances.”

The Dutch Ministry of Defence said the Netherlands is developing policies requiring “knowledge institutions” to perform personnel screenings to prevent access to sensitive technology “by individuals that have ill intentions or who are at risk of being pressured.”

Export restrictions have slowed China's progress toward semiconductor self-sufficiency for years, and constrained advanced chip production at Huawei, the two people and a third person said.

The sources spoke on condition they not be identified due to the confidentiality of the project.

CHINA'S MANHATTAN PROJECT

One veteran Chinese engineer from ASML recruited to the project was surprised to find that his generous signing bonus came with an identification card issued under a false name, according to one of the people, who was familiar with his recruitment.

Once inside, he recognized other former ASML colleagues who were also working under aliases and was instructed to use their fake names at work to maintain secrecy, the person said. Another person independently confirmed that recruits were given fake IDs to conceal their identities from other workers inside the secure facility.

The guidance was clear, the two people said: Classified under national security, no one outside the compound could know what they were building—or that they were there at all.

The team includes recently retired, Chinese-born former ASML engineers and scientists—prime recruitment targets because they possess sensitive technical knowledge but face fewer professional constraints after leaving the company, the people said.

Two current ASML employees of Chinese nationality in the Netherlands told Reuters they have been approached by recruiters from Huawei since at least 2020.

Huawei did not respond to requests for comment.

European privacy laws limit ASML's ability to track former employees. Though employees sign non-disclosure agreements, enforcing them across borders has proven difficult.

ASML won an $845 million judgment in 2019 against a former Chinese engineer accused of stealing trade secrets, but the defendant filed for bankruptcy and continues to operate in Beijing with Chinese government support, according to court documents.

ASML told Reuters that it “vigilantly guards” trade secrets and confidential information.

"While ASML cannot control or restrict where former employees work, all employees are bound by the confidentiality clauses in their contracts," the company said, and it has "successfully pursued legal action in response to the theft of trade secrets.”

Reuters was unable to determine if any legal actions have been taken against former ASML employees involved in China’s lithography program.

The company said it safeguards EUV knowledge by ensuring only select employees can access the information even inside the company.

Dutch intelligence warned in an April report that China "used extensive espionage programmes in its attempts to obtain advanced technology and knowledge from Western countries," including recruiting "Western scientists and employees of high-tech companies.”

The ASML veterans made the breakthrough in Shenzhen possible, the people said. Without their intimate knowledge of the technology, reverse-engineering the machines would have been nearly impossible.

Their recruitment was part of an aggressive drive China launched in 2019 for semiconductor experts working abroad, offering signing bonuses that started at 3 million to 5 million yuan ($420,000 to $700,000) and home-purchase subsidies, according to a Reuters review of government policy documents.

Recruits included Lin Nan, ASML's former head of light source technology, whose team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Shanghai Institute of Optics has filed eight patents on EUV light sources in 18 months, according to patent filings.

The Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics did not respond to requests for comment. Lin could not be reached for comment.

I love how absolutely no one wants to talk to Reuters. Get fucked propagandist scum.

Two additional people familiar with China’s recruitment efforts said some naturalized citizens of other countries were given Chinese passports and allowed to maintain dual citizenship.

China officially prohibits dual citizenship and did not answer questions on issuing passports.

Chinese authorities did not respond to requests for comment.

INSIDE CHINA'S EUV FAB

ASML's most advanced EUV systems are roughly the size of a school bus, and weigh 180 tons. After failed attempts to replicate its size, the prototype inside the Shenzhen lab became many times larger to improve its power, according to the two people.

The Chinese prototype is crude compared to ASML's machines but operational enough for testing, the people said.

^More cope.

China's prototype lags behind ASML's machines largely because researchers have struggled to obtain optical systems like those from Germany's Carl Zeiss AG, one of ASML's key suppliers, the two people said.

Oh yeah, i'm sure China will never figure out how to polish some lenses and mirrors... Germans have have superhuman abilities that no one could possibly replicate!

Zeiss declined to comment.

The machines fire lasers at molten tin 50,000 times per second, generating plasma at 200,000 degrees Celsius. The light is focused using mirrors that take months to produce, according to Zeiss' website.

China's top research institutes have played key roles in developing homegrown alternatives, according to the two people.

The Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CIOMP) achieved a breakthrough in integrating extreme-ultraviolet light into the prototype's optical system, enabling it to become operational in early 2025, one of the people said, though the optics still require significant refinement.

CIOMP did not respond to requests for comment.

In a March online recruitment call on its website, the institute said it was offering "uncapped" salaries to PhD lithography researchers and research grants worth up to 4 million yuan ($560,000) plus 1 million yuan ($140,000) in personal subsidies.

Good time to be a lithography researcher in China.

Jeff Koch, an analyst at research firm SemiAnalysis and a former ASML engineer, said China will have achieved "meaningful progress” if the “light source has enough power, is reliable, and doesn’t generate too much contamination.”

"No doubt this is technically feasible, it's just a question of timeline," he said. "China has the advantage that commercial EUV now exists, so they aren't starting from zero."

To get the required parts, China is salvaging components from older ASML machines and sourcing parts from ASML suppliers through secondhand markets, the two people said.

Networks of intermediary companies are sometimes used to mask the ultimate buyer, the people said.

Export-restricted components from Japan’s Nikon and Canon are being used for the prototype, one of the people and an additional source said.

Nikon declined to comment. Canon said it was not aware of such reports. The Japanese Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

International banks regularly auction older semiconductor fabrication equipment, the sources said. Auctions in China sold older ASML lithography equipment as recently as October 2025, according to a review of listings on Alibaba Auction, an Alibaba-owned platform.

A team of around 100 recent university graduates is focused on reverse-engineering components from both EUV and DUV lithography machines, according to the people.

Each worker's desk is filmed by an individual camera to document their efforts to disassemble and reassemble parts—work the people described as key to China's lithography efforts.

Staffers who successfully reassemble a component receive bonuses, the people said.

HUAWEI SCIENTISTS SLEEP ON-SITE

While the EUV project is run by the Chinese government, Huawei is involved in every step of the supply chain from chip design and fabrication equipment to manufacturing and final integration into products like smartphones, according to four people familiar with Huawei’s operations.

CEO Ren Zhengfei briefs senior Chinese leaders on progress, according to one of the people.

The U.S. placed Huawei on an entity list in 2019, banning American companies from doing business with them without a license.

Huawei has deployed employees to offices, fabrication plants, and research centers across the country for the effort. Employees assigned to semiconductor teams often sleep on-site and are barred from returning home during the work week, with phone access restricted for teams handling more sensitive tasks, according to the people.

Inside Huawei, few employees know the scope of this work. "The teams are kept isolated from each other to protect the confidentiality of the project," one of the people said. “They don't know what the other teams work on.”

The reported US seizure of a ship allegedly carrying Chinese-made dual-use components to Iran might signal Washington was “testing the waters” on reviving an old tactic to pressure Beijing’s ties with its adversaries, but such moves risked breaching international law, analysts said.

Well they can count me out lol.

Japanese protesters called on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to retract her remarks on Taiwan, and opposed the government's plan to rapidly increase defense spending.

"We will overthrow Takaichi, who is pushing for constitutional revision and war. We will not allow massive military and nuclear budgets. We will not tolerate remarks about a 'Taiwan contingency."

"A Taiwan contingency is not a Japan contingency. It is clearly stipulated in the China-Japan Joint Communique and the documents on the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two nations that there is only one China, and the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government. Japan colonized Taiwan for 50 years. Are we going there again? Are we going to intervene again in a Taiwan contingency? Stopping this is the responsibility of the Japanese people."

TOMOKO HORAGUCHI Member, Suginami City Assembly, Tokyo "With the soaring prices, many people are struggling to make ends meet every single day. Yet the Takaichi administration is bent on funneling huge sums of money into war preparations, disguising such military expenditure as 'defense spending.' I believe that destroying people's livelihoods, making them poorer, and then pushing the country toward war is exactly what Japan did in the past, and now it is happening all over again."

"The current administration is using the budget only for military expansion, leaving the people to suffer. This is not an accident. It is a deliberate choice made by the administration."

"Of course people's lives will get harder. With tax hikes and military spending set to double in just one or two years. If that happens, military spending will be purely consumption. In a war, once a bomb is dropped – let's be clear, that is its intended purpose – it creates absolutely nothing. It only destroys property and claims lives, and that's the end. That is what we call the military. That is what we call war."

Minsk, Dec 16 (Prensa Latina) Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated on Tuesday that a US military aggression against Venezuela could become a "second Vietnam" for Washington.

“I am absolutely convinced that all issues and all desires of the United States can be currently resolved peacefully, because a war will lead nowhere.

Yesterday I spoke with US Special Envoy to Belarus, John Coale, and I told him that this may turn into second Vietnam,” Lukashenko said in an interview to Newsmax TV.

The president warned that the Venezuelan people will unite around President Nicolas Maduro if Washington attacks the Latin American country.

Trump warned on November 29 that the airspace over Venezuela and its surrounding areas should be considered “completely closed” to “airlines, drug traffickers, and human traffickers.”

The Venezuelan government, in turn, asserted that it will continue to exercise fully its sovereignty, which is “protected by international law throughout its airspace.”

This measure comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries, along with reports of Trump’s plans to order a ground military operation in Venezuela.

The president is accused of interfering in the Honduran presidential elections by threatening the people with "consequences" if they voted for candidate Rixi Moncada.

TLDR: The USA is controlling Cambodia (through Hun Manet) to attack Thailand, a close Chinese partner, as part of their broader strategy to destabilize Asia and extend China in the same way they extended Russia.

Gabriel Boric's tepid approach , lack of a clear plan, and neoliberal social control measures have led to the election of a far-right president in Chile and the return of Pinochetism to the country after 35 years of the return of democracy.

The self-proclaimed ultraconservative José Antonio Kast, 59, was elected president of Chile on Sunday for the next four years with an overwhelming victory , securing 58.17% of the 13,417,475 votes cast. This represents 7,252,831 Chileans who voted for the Republican Party candidate and rejected the center-left candidate who represented the continuation of the Boric administration.

The founder of the Republican Party won in all 16 regions of the country, including left-wing strongholds such as Valparaíso and the Metropolitan Region, which houses the capital, and the mining areas of the north and the agricultural areas of the south, and will be required to wear the presidential sash on March 11, 2026.

Hitlerian past and rabid xenophobia: a profile that sends shivers down your spine

The profile of Chile's new president is unsettling: he is the son of a member of the German Nazi party , an avowed admirer of dictator Augusto Pinochet , and a staunch Catholic opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage . His campaign was built on promoting fear of immigration and insecurity in a country where the immigrant population has doubled in the last decade.

Identity documents from that era, revealed some years ago, confirm that Michael Kast, José Antonio's father, joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party in September 1942 —five months after turning 18, the minimum age for membership—to perform military service. According to historians, during World War II, in Adolf Hitler's Germany, military service was mandatory, but membership in the Nazi party was not.

Kast Sr. emigrated to Chile in 1950 , and a year later his wife and two eldest children joined him. He settled in Paine, a community in the Santiago Metropolitan Region. He passed away in 2014.

This is the Hitlerian past that Kast's son has tried to hide since his previous candidacies for La Moneda , and has even openly denied it: "When there is a war and there is mandatory conscription, a 17 or 18-year-old does not have the option of saying I am not going because they give him a military trial and shoot him the next day," he said in reference to his father, about whom he lied, claiming that he had fought as a simple recruit.

In stark contrast, the main campaign promise of the now-elected president, José Antonio, has been built on the expulsion of tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants. He gave them a public ultimatum: leave Chile before March 11 or be deported "with only the clothes on their backs . "

It proposes five-meter-high walls on the borders with Peru and Bolivia, electric fences, three-meter-deep trenches, detention centers, and a greater military presence. It's an almost literal replica of Donald Trump's playbook , his main current political inspiration, and it copies measures with a distinctly Nazi slant.

As his inauguration approaches, many immigrants fear for their safety, warning of increased discrimination against them and the potential fragmentation of their communities due to Kast's xenophobic, racist, and hate-filled campaigns. Ironically, the president-elect is the son of immigrants.

Rejection of social projects and denial of the crimes against humanity committed by Pinochet.

As a congressman, for 16 years he voted against all projects that represented progress in social rights: he voted against the divorce law, the profit-making in education, the morning-after pill, and the Cholito Law.

Publicly, his loyalties have lain with the perpetrators of crimes against humanity committed by the Chilean dictatorships, whom he even visited in prison. Furthermore, his denial of the crimes these individuals committed more than 50 years ago is well-known .

His support for these criminals was clearly expressed in his campaign for the continuity of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) in the 1988 plebiscite , which makes him from today the first (openly declared) Pinochet supporter to reach La Moneda in democracy.

Moreover, the links to Pinochetism are direct . His brother Miguel held the position of president of the Central Bank during the dictatorship. Kast himself has even proudly stated that if Augusto Pinochet were alive, he would have voted for him. "We would have had tea together ," he added, in what is a clear expression of his admiration for the dictator whose regime left more than 40,175 victims, including those tortured, executed, detained, and disappeared .

In many of these cases of disappearance and execution, justice has not yet been served, the truth has not been revealed, and there has been no historical reparation for the victims' families. Boric failed to achieve this Chilean aspiration, and Kast represents absolute opposition to the acknowledgment and legal prosecution of these crimes .

Besides Donald Trump, another of Kast's role models is Nayib Bukele , the Salvadoran president who imprisoned at least 2% of his country's adult population in a controversial crackdown on gangs. Kast declared in a debate that " all Chileans voting today, if Bukele were on the ballot, would choose Bukele ."

According to political scientist Juan Carlos Gómez Leyton, in an interview with teleSUR , this victory confirms that Pinochetism has always been latent in many Chilean political groups over these 35 years; it simply never gained power. Boric's defeat, meanwhile, demonstrates that when the left governs leaderless, conservatism takes advantage of the resulting fragmentation and distrust to capitalize on votes.

More than 1,300 delegates from the Venezuelan working class have gathered in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, to participate this Monday, December 15, in the Great Constituent Congress of the Venezuelan Working Class. This crucial meeting's main objective is the refounding, transformation, and organization of the country's labor movement.

This event, organized by the National Promoting Commission of the Working Class, is being held at the invitation of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, with the aim of appointing 50,000 delegates throughout the country, although the expectation is for an even greater participation.

During the review of grassroots assemblies leading up to the Constituent Congress of the Working Class, held on Thursday, December 11th in Caracas, the Venezuelan Head of State expressed the expected scale of the gathering. "I think we'll have to hold it on the Eastern Highway, because I believe it will exceed 50,000, and perhaps even reach 100,000 delegates, from this entire wonderful conglomeration of the working class, the Venezuelan working class," President Maduro announced.

The President explained that this congress seeks to amplify the will and effort of the workers, with a "powerful leadership emerging from the will of the grassroots." During the congress, President Maduro highlighted the strength of the Venezuelan economy, stating, "The country has registered 18 consecutive quarters of sustained economic growth, despite the unilateral coercive measures imposed."

The Venezuelan Head of State reminded everyone that the working class not only creates wealth, but must also "educate itself, train itself, empower itself, be aware, create solutions, and develop proposals ." He affirmed that this is "a vital force in the new economy of the thirteen engines that the country is pursuing."

The president also emphasized the growth projections . International organizations such as the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) project economic growth of 6 percent in the country's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) . "When one speaks of the concept of Gross Domestic Product, one is speaking of the entire economy. Last year it grew by 9 percent," Maduro stated, highlighting this achievement as a result of the Bolivarian Revolution amidst the economic war that imperialism has imposed on the South American nation.

This congress represents a fundamental step toward strengthening popular participation and economic sovereignty in Venezuela. Last November 20th, as a prelude to this Constituent Congress of the Working Class, grassroots assemblies were held, highlighting the leading role of workers in building the Bolivarian nation.

This vanguard movement, which extends from workplaces and production units to the national level, has been forged through a thorough democratic process. Workers elected their rank-and-file delegates in each company (three per company), and subsequently in municipal and state assemblies, culminating today in the national meeting in Caracas. This process included 22,110 grassroots assemblies, demonstrating the strength and organization of the Venezuelan working class. The workers' vanguard seeks to preserve and develop this strength to consolidate the country's independence and sovereignty.

U.S. Southern Command is reviewing an incident in which a JetBlue flight and a U.S. Air Force aircraft almost collided midair near Venezuela on Friday, according to air traffic control audio.

In a statement, U.S. Southern Command said military aircrews "are highly trained professionals who operate in accordance with established procedures and applicable airspace requirements."

"Safety remains a top priority, and we are working through the appropriate channels to assess the facts surrounding the situation," U.S. Southern Command spokesperson Colonel Manny Ortiz said.

The JetBlue flight was traveling from Curaçao off the coast of Venezuela to New York City when a pilot spotted the Air Force tanker. U.S. Southern Command operates in this region amid a rise in tension between Venezuela and the U.S., with the Trump administration conducting strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific.

In a statement, JetBlue said the flight crew promptly reported the incident to leadership.

“We have reported this incident to federal authorities and will participate in any investigation," the airline said in the statement.

Air traffic control audio documents the moment the JetBlue pilot reported that the military aircraft passed about 2 to 5 miles in front of the plane.

"They passed directly in our flight path," the pilot said. "We had to stop our climb."

The pilot also said that the tanker did not have its transponder on. A transponder is an electric device that allows air traffic control to track an aircraft accurately. One way transponders do that is by squawking, or sending a code to air traffic control to identify itself and provide information, like altitude.

A squawk code was not used during Friday's incident. There are times when squawk is not used to communicate aircraft information, like during military operations.

"It’s outrageous," the pilot said.

According to a U.S. official familiar with the incident, the tanker was within approved range of the JetBlue flight, and it's not uncommon for military aircraft to fly with their transponders off.

Sometimes aircraft do not communicate with each other while operating in the same airspace because not one agency is primary over the airspace, meaning military and commercial flights can happen concurrently. Both the military and the Federal Aviation Administration could be following rules correctly and still have an incident like this occur.

The incident is still being reviewed, according to an official familiar with the incident.

39 countries have reached an EV sales share larger than 10% in 2025, a third of which are outside Europe. In 2019, there were only four countries that had reached this milestone, all within Europe. Notably, China reached over 50% EV sales share for the first time this year. Between January and October 2025, EVs have made up over a quarter of global new car sales, up from less than 3% in 2019.

Chinese EV exports are finding new markets outside the OECD. Since July 2023, non-OECD markets have been responsible for all the growth in Chinese EV exports, with Mexico, Brazil, UAE and Indonesia emerging as top destinations in 2025.

Several ASEAN countries now have among the highest EV sales penetration of any country in the world. Close to 40% of Viet Nam’s new car sales this year have been EVs, almost all of them battery electric vehicles made by local manufacturer VinFast. It is now gaining ground on regional leader Singapore, where the EV sales share has exceeded 40% of new car sales so far in 2025.

Due to their high levels of efficiency, electric vehicles are a powerful tool to reduce fossil fuel dependence. Whereas ICE vehicles waste around 80% of the energy in the fuel, EVs use close to 80% of the electricity they consume. This leads to large reductions in overall fossil fuel consumption even if a country’s electricity supply is heavily dependent on fossil generation.

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets again today against this. I'll post an update once we get any results.
