Well, I don't know about the others, but Samsung already has plants in China, so they benefit too from low wages. Plus, they announced earlier this year that they would double their production capacity in those plants to 220,000 wafers by 2020, which is quite a bit more than the 100,000-150,000 wafers that the Chinese company.

Samsung is fine, for now.

Absolutely not for their highest-end production plants containing the most proprietary technology as even Samsung are concerned about industrial espionage so their plants in China manufactures very old technology compared to their Korean equivalents. Do you believe that Samsung would entrust one of their most competitive edge to Chinese employees who could potentially reverse engineer the technology for their own purpose ?

Samsung can increase their production capacity all they want but if Chinese customers such as OEM/ODMs have a good enough domestic alternative then they will attempt to nourish their budding industry in the name of nationalism even if it means wrecking Samsung's business altogether as their orders start to dry up ...

From the articles I found, Samsung produces its 96-layer NAND waffers in China, which is their best one.
