The post industrial economy including AI, is powered by electrons.
China has a giant wall of them feeding its consumers and producers, at half the price of any other industrialised economy.
China has the huge advantage in scale and price with a massive nuclear, solar, hydro and wind based electricity power generation surplus projected for 2030 while the USA is stuck in fossil fueled redundancy and faces chronic electricity generation shortages and rolling power cuts if projected AI power consumption is ever to be achieved.

Oh sure, but I prefer to see the greater trend as the work of dragons (or in this case technology).
I never could figure out how seasons worked in Song of Fire and Ice, but being a humble human, I am doomed to experience the sweep of this story on such a short time scale that all I can see is the crazy upswing.
Since all we really care about is what our friends and neighbors are doing (damn those Lannisters), it doesn't matter whether we are experiencing the winter of 1620s or 2020s. Winter still sucks when it comes.
