The key factor is that US cloud systems are not being included in supercomputing calculations at all. The most powerful supercomputers are Amazon's AWS or Google's systems. Alibaba's cloud systems are still tiny by comparison.

Cloud compute systems are the next evolution of supercomputing. Or put a better way, the traditional supercomputers being measured, are history.

It'd be like holding up 56k modem market leadership today as a sign of technological dominance.
