Incendiary rounds aren’t designed for penetration though?

I recall reading something about the Ming soldiers wearing bulletproof iron scale armor in battles between the Ming and Dutch forces in Formosa island.
This type of armor is called Lamellar armor, sometimes referred to as Scale armor. Its counterpart is Laminar armor, and an armor suit can sometimes consist of both Laminar and Lamellar parts.
Possible, given the state of guns those days, while the late medieval periods are reaching the apex in the development of classical body armor. Despite popular myth, ancient and dynastic Chinese infantry was as heavily armored as they come, with increasing state of armor going from the Warring States to the Tang Dynasty, reaching its height in the Ming Dynasty. It was around the Qing Dynasty that armor began to fall off in popularity, as guns started to get better and become more popular.

These projects are extremely important for a country's development.
Given the massive delays in the ARJ-21 program, a much simpler aircraft, I think the delays in the C919 were to be expected.
Same deal with lithography. Unless there is a push by Chinese society in this way this would not change. I think the US sanctions should have given the Chinese semiconductor industry the necessary push.
