There are lots of reasons Chinese AI companies will always be cheaper than Western AI companies, but chief among them is that China is pouring ludicrous amounts of money into new energy generation projects.
Hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, coal, they are building it all, as we speak, at least 10x more than the US. They are aiming to not just be energy independent, but energy dominant.
You can't now (and certainly won't in the future) be able to run an AI provider in the West as profitably as you can in China.
