Why ASML won:
They went against standard philosophy -> Standard philosophy is you always have multiple vendors.
ASML went entirely against this, instead they found the best supplier in the world for each one of their critical components, and they signed an exclusivity deal with each one.
So ASML couldn't buy from anyone else, and the company couldn't sell to anyone else.
So China is still trying to catch up, because they are not able to buy ANY of the parts of the stepper.

@cjd so you still claim you don't know anything? Is this stupid coincidence?
