The FT reports exclusively that Huawei is investing across the entire lithography equipment industry while brokering deals with leading fabs, aiming to eliminate foreign technology from China's semiconductor supply chain. Commentary accompanying the story notes that US sanctions nearly crippled Huawei in 2019-2020, and the company is now helping lead China's self-reliance push, with 12 Chinese-made DUV lithography machines reportedly due by the end of this year.
