Ever since CRADA denied Japan licensing rights to EUV tech, Japan lost the lead in the 90s. Now, it's indirectly coming around full circle with a Japanese TSMC branch and access to fairly modern EUV machines.

I suspect part of this also helps with negotiating more access to the valuable chip manufacturing chemicals that Japan has a borderline monopoly on.
