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.

China probably does *not* own any ASML EUV machines. These are extremely high demand machines and are all called for by TSMC, Samsung, and Intel. ASML cannot build enough to satisfy demand of just these three players. They also need a fleet of PhD engineers just to run. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are 20+ years behind on this; the complexity is staggering, and likely needs a culture that promotes innovation/free thought to be successful, IMO.
