      The year 1995. It took 15 years for Japan to reach the same GDP. It’s GDP is once again below that level and in constant decline.

        Except that the major Japan vs USA/ASML EUV race was ramping up in the late 90s through to about 2010. Canon hit the wall around 2008 during the global financial crisis that rocked the US just as hard if not harder, Nikon kept limping until signaling defeat and cutting back around 2011 or so. The 1995 Japanese economic crash is very real but it had no effect on the EUV race since that was decided a decade later.

            You miss the point of my comment. Japan was ramping UP funding and organization around EUV in the late 90s and early 00s. The exact opposite effect of what you are implying. The financial crunch only arrived a decade later.

              It all didn’t just fall to the ground and break. Plenty of industries saw the effects late.
