Quick Answer: It depends on the partnership agreement.
There tend to be two opposite schools of thought on partnership agreements for preemptive bids. They are "disciplined" vs "anything goes".
Disciplined means the partners have agreed that the suit in question should have some punch to it. Common standard is 2 of top 3 OR 3 of top 5 honors (vul) & marginally weaker (nonvul). Anything goes means no promised standards for strength of the suit in question. Most of my regular partners & I play disciplined.
By the Way: In the hand above
East is dealer. That means north will certainly never get the chance to
"Open" the auction. Also, if north was dealer & EW was an
experienced pair, I would expect it to be irrelevant whether north opened 3C or
not. Either way, I would expect EW to find their diamond or heart contract (at
least game & quite likely slam).
