To the hillbillies, Chinaman can only cook and do laundry

Oh no, China must give back the Great Wall to the USA if true. But the Great Wall was built starting from the 7th century onwards, when America was not even discovered by the Whites. In fact, the USA was not even born yet by a long shot.

If the Great Wall could be stolen, it would not be inside China today. It would be inside one of the Western Museums long ago, lol. I do understand that most of the items now in Western Museums were stolen artifacts from China, India, Africa and other countries of the Global South. Some have been returned to the original owners after much shaming probably.

Now there is a new narrative floating around that ASML may have sold a complete EUV machine to China. ASML has vigorously denied the accusation by Howard Lutnik, the USA's Commerce Psychopath, one of many in the Trump Administration.

That machine weighs 180 tons and cannot be smuggled inside a travelling suitcase to be delivered to China. It needs specialized transporting expertise and supporting engineers to deliver and assemble. And in spite of all the scrutiny, if such a thing happened, it is a slap on the face of the USA's intelligence people. The actual accusation was that ASML or its suppliers/agents shipped some components to China. The reality is that some common components are used by both the DUV machines, which China had bought, and EUV machines, and the USA is using this argument as proof that China could not have advanced so rapidly without being gifted a EUV machine. Moreover, ASML also need to source for components for its EUV machines from Japan, Germany and elsewhere.

The real reason why this issue was floated is to tell the world that China had depended on ASML's EUV machines to rise to where it is today. The USA is still trying to promote the argument that China could not have make such progress on its own steam and expertise. Give a dog a bad name and then skin it is the agenda of the USA.
