China is quietly building a massive strategic advantage in the AI race, electricity. While the West struggles with NIMBYism, slow permitting, and grid constraints, China is treating power infrastructure as a national priority for AI dominance.
The new moat isn't just chips or models. It's reliable, abundant, and affordable energy. This is becoming one of the most important factors in the AI race that most people aren't talking about. The country that can generate and deliver the most power at scale will have a structural advantage in training and running large AI systems.
This is the same reason Bitcoin mining migrated to locations with cheap and stranded energy. Energy abundance and cost structure are fundamental. The AI race is moving beyond software and silicon. It's becoming a competition of energy infrastructure and industrial execution.
The new AI arms race isn't just about who has the best model. It's about who can keep the lights on.
