I’d venture a guess that the more accurate headline would be:
China’s best mass-produced chips that are available today are at the same level as the best TSMC chips produced in 2021.
I’d be most interested to know where their R&D is at and what technological developments they have achieved and what are the barriers they have yet to overcome in order to be at an approximate parity with TSMC but I figure most of that is going to be trade/state secrets, especially with the US attempting to hem in Chinese semiconductor development any way it can.
In practice that probably means two at worst, as it always seems like this types of articles underestimate china’s rapid progress

Indeed, China’s progress is always underestimated.
