China’s advantages include the speed of construction, plentiful land and relatively inexpensive green power.

The only advantage the US currently has is access to the most advanced AI processors.

Try building a large solar farm in the USA for cheap power.

Cheap, renewable solar now has the largest power generation capacity in China. In the USA, it is only about 8%.
