Samsung has NAND production there, but no DRAM. SK Hynix has 40% DRAM there, and NAND. It still would be short China's needs. Not sure a fab would work very well without any supplier support, and Korea support.
It's not that simple. Samsung exists too. So while the West diverts logic to Samsung and Intel, China would have no memory and storage suppliers to buy from. CXMT and YMTC can't meet all their needs, especially with broadened trade restrictions a Taiwan blockade would cause.
the rumor mill is saying that may not be a good thing, or a sure bet in the production phase
