Intel Needs EUV Lithography, The Machines come from ASML in the netherlands,the Optics from Zeiss in Germany. a joint Venture is a backup strategy to not lose access to the technology, by some trump fuckup like the recent Tarrifs. TSMC will continue to have access to this stuff becaue Europe uses this technology as a lever to secure Taiwan,since China wont attack Taiwan as long as attacking means losing the next 5 generations of chip manufacturing. You can see similar Strategies by other companies like Nintendo manufacturing in Vietnam to bypass tarrifs on importing from china.while Nintendos strategy backfired because of the tarrifs on everything the JV could actually work.

The little Dutch company called ASML could now do a very funny thing by implementing DEI Programs.

Still there doing stuff, many activists realize after a few years that the impact of protests or even riots often isnt lasting and tend to either stop doing public activisim because they fear backlash, some make it their job and in NGOs where they stagnate because of bueraucracy and some will understand that only change changes things and start to sabotage the things that need said change.
