28nm can cover the vast majority of chip production needs for the next 5-10 years. Most things don't need an advanced node.
By the time SMEE is hitting 5nm, processes for 3d will be mature. I wouldn't discount any of this at this point.

I guess China will crack EUV in some time.
Chinese Academy of Sciences will (a spinoff company for commercialization), they publish research papers on EUV and so on.
Multiple project are being developed in parallel.
Right now they've made bets on a large scale of different technologies. Many of them failed already. Probably they will focus on a few and succeed in a not very long time scale.
