Yeah.
Well, I think when we talk about China's ability to have an advanced semiconductor sector, the question isn't, can China make fabs?
Can they make equipment?
The question has always been, will they have access to EUV lithography tools or be able to make their own?
And the reporting that came out yesterday shows that China now has a working prototype of some type, which I think to a lot of people came as a surprise.
This is something that we've been tracking for a very, very long time and something that I think that the U.S.
should actually take incredibly seriously.
We can't just be playing defense.
There needs to be a plan of, okay, how do we regain leadership, but really by a leap ahead so that we can actually maintain that when China is able to actually make advanced semiconductors.
Yeah, well, I think that we underestimate China to our peril.
They are some of the smartest scientists and engineers in the world.
And we shouldn't be surprised that they sometimes join Western companies and then often go back and are able to compete very effectively.
And so I think that betting that China will do something is always the smart strategy versus betting that they can't do something.
And so we should change our approach to account for that.
Yeah, our relationship for many years has been very close with the U.S.
government.
And so I wouldn't say there's really been much change.
We collaborate very, very closely with them.
And they've been some of our biggest supporters.
And frankly, we wouldn't be where we are right now without a very, very close relationship with the government.
