Electricity has become the decisive force in the global tech race, serving as the energy foundation that fuels AI, robotics, and industrial automation. China has transformed from energy insecurity to generating over twice the power of the US, much of it clean. It has also spent billions modernising its grid. As America’s infrastructure stagnates, China’s electrification strategy positions it to surge ahead in scaling the tech of the future. With data centres and computing load drawing ever more electricity, whoever can power their ambitions could dominate the next area of tech. How did China do it and will this advantage help Beijing win the race for the future?
