Actually labor cost is not that much of a factor when it comes to high tech sector. You will find SMIC and Huawei paying engineers fairly competitive wages even in China (~$80k to $100k USD equivalent). The more complex a product is, the less the cost of labor plays into it.ASML is on borrowed time. When China makes EUV, no one will buy ASML which is much more expensive than Chinese cheap labor.

China won't be able to manufacture EUV at half the price of ASML if that's what you're suggesting. At most, 10% to 20% cheaper is all you can hope for.
