Obviously it's not just for semiconductors, this will replace a lot of imports. China is preparing for the final battle. Notice how it's built inland, well protected from any air strikes.

Exactly, thats my whole point!
Whether this plant can replace the most advance chemical produce by Japanese for semiconductors that almost everybody now depends on JApan
I think the fact that Baotou has a lot of existening heavy industries and is far away from other population centers are bigger pluses. These projects aren't exactly popular amongst local population, especially in densely populated areas.
no idea, Japan has had a long history in specialty chemicals, but as long as the purity meets spec and yield is OK, it is fine.
Samsung Electronics Struggling to Create Working 3nm GAA Process Technology
Samsung Electronics is reportedly continuing to experience difficulty in advanced technology while developing the 3nm gate-all-around (GAA) processes.
Samsung Electronics' 3nm GAA process is considered "less competitive" to TSMC's 3nm FinFET technology when it comes to discussing costs and performance.
Samsung was scheduled to start production by 2022 but might face additional delays if this report is accurate. TSMC is on schedule to start mass production of 3nm FinFET process technology as soon as the third quarter of 2022.
Samsung will rollout their first-gen 3nm GAA Early and second-gen 32 GAA Plus (GAE and GAP, respectively), but their GAE production will not be able to start until as soon as 2023 because of the various problems they have experienced during development.
Samsung Electronics has mentioned, prior to this new information, that their 3nm GAE process will enter what they are calling "risk production stage" during the end of 2020, with mass production this year. Unfortunately, the company is trailing behind TSMC developing advances in the chip technology when they lost contracts from Apple for their iPhone processors. TSMC is in a key position to being the first to release the 3nm process technology, reports various market observers.

I don't see 3nm is economically viable, especially without Chinese market
3nm fab require $20B investment, who can afford it, especially with this trade war going on
Yeah if anything, China is going to switch to 450mm wafer first.
Where is it say TSMC is hitting any brick wall? They already mass producing 3nm
