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.

ASML doesn’t make the entire EUV machine all on their lonesome, they are a mother of all system integrators really. Different parts and subsystems come from different industry leading suppliers and they put it all together. Its not just one company, it’s an entire industrial ecosystem and ASML spent decades building it to begin with. Eventually competitors will replicate it, but it’s going to be years or even more than a decade behind ASML.
