Everyone else is missing the point here. SMIC (China’s main semi fab) isn’t the company manufacturing these chips. They haven’t broken into anything close to 3nm-class chips yet. This just means that TSMC is going to manufacture a 3nm chip for Xiaomi. The important part for China here is this proves that they can design modern chips, not they necessarily have the manufacturing capability yet.

How likely is it that TSMC will manufacture it in the current political climate?
