Some fresh imagery (3/2022) from the new PLAN nuclear submarine shipyard at Huludao. It looks like they're just about done building the last big building. You can now see the transfer setup where they'll take roll the submarines out on tracks from the right and into the blue transfer dock, then lower that into the larger drydock. The transfer dock is about 33mx215m, should be big enough for SSBNs and other large submarines.

It really is striking what the nation can do to build new facilities, here's the site in 2009:

Well I hope China can speed up the construction of its nuclear subs, especially 095 and 096. The Americans have a very distinctive numerical and quality advantage currently, and may be counting on their submarine flee to intervene in Taiwan.

There is no conventional way that US sub fleet can interfere in Taiwan, it's too close to the continent and surrounding seas are well within PLASSF/PLAN's littoral ASW network (Guanlan + Y-9ASW + SSK039 + 056A/927/HSU001 + CH6), USS Connecticut is an example.

Would really appreciate If someone could inform about this new Chinese submarine

Yes bro, expansion of Huludao shipyard serves the purpose of mass producing 095/096. Primary mission of 096 is joining PLARF in full-scale thermonuclear strike on CONUS aka WWIII scenario. US sub fleets (and the Tridents they carry) in the open seas are dealt with by other ASW/BMD assets like 054A, 055, 095 & several orbital situational awareness networks.

A stronger submarine force is always needed. Considering the likely scenarios in the Ukraine conflict, China needs to rely on its navy, most importantly subs, to implement blockage and counter blockage should a war over Taiwan take place.

How much better is the Type 039C from the Type 039B PN will be receiving?

American subs can launch cruise missiles towards China or anti-ship missiles towards the landing fleet. More importantly, they can ambush Chinese shipping lanes in South China Sea or Malacca strait. While American surface vessels could be kept at bay with DF-21D, DF-17 and H-6K, their SSNs are much more difficult to deter.

Never underestimate or discount your opponent. Russia is paying a high price for doing so at this very moment.

They will face a drastic escalation as it is well known that only the US military has substantial capability to attack or ambush China forces or commercial shipping. That's why China is expanding its nuclear arsenal to such a scale that the Americans won't have any chance to think about an ambush.
