While China has made progress in developing DUV (ArFi) photolithography machines, achieving resolutions below 65 nm and overlay accuracy under 8 nm, these systems still lag behind industry leaders like ASML, whose equipment processes over 295 wafers per hour. Chinese machines have not yet demonstrated the capability to handle at least 140 wafers per hour, the benchmark for high-volume manufacturing. Given the technical challenges and the time required for further advancements, it is unlikely that China will produce such machines with these capabilities before January 1, 2026.

Despite facing significant economic and geopolitical challenges, current forecasts from international financial institutions indicate a gradual recovery for Egypt, rather than an imminent economic collapse over the next 12 months. For example, The IMF projects Egypt's economy will see a gradual recovery, with GDP growth expected to reach 4.1% in fiscal year 2025-2026.
The OECD expects Egypt’s growth reaching 5.6% by 2025-26.

"Putin's historic electoral victory this year has to do with two main factors: the push for national unity as a result of the war in Ukraine and the lack of an alternative program that could challenge the mandate of the four-time re-elected president.
More than 20 years forging an effective judicial system to protect the interests of Putin's Kremlin were reflected in the political disqualification of two candidates who based their proposal on criticism of the current Administration."
As of 2024, Chinese organizations, such as SMEE, have made progress in developing EUV photolithography technology, including filing patents, but significant technical challenges remain, such as creating high-power EUV light sources and advanced optics. Currently, only ASML has successfully commercialized high-volume EUV machines, with models capable of processing up to 170 wafers per hour. Given these complexities and the current pace of development, it is uncertain whether China will produce EUV machines capable of at least 90 wafers per hour before January 1, 2030.
