One would expect that reverse engineering technologies wouldn’t be impossible.
The importance of these technologies for China is huge.
Moreover, they have a massive budget and probably also own a couple of ASML’s euv lithography machines.
Why is it that they cant remake these machines?
I heard some sources say that it might take them a decade.

For some background on how we got to the point of ASML machines I’d highly recommend Simon Winchester’s book: “The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World”
It is not a perfect book but I think it gives a very good story of how we got to the point of being able to build machines such as the ASML EUV tools for the average reader. One chapter actually covers ASML.
