28nm was circa 2012 and the article said it was an improvement of their previous 2005 technology that they're still employing; I'm not able to understand the message this article is conveying.
I think the title is a bit misleading as it seems to be talking specifically about SMEE. CSMC is already making 7nm chips that Mate 60 is using. However, 28nm chips are still very widely used for a lot of stuff. So, SMEE making these chips is still an important development because that means China will be able to produce higher volumes of chips now.
