Can China grab the AI crown from the US? It all comes down to energy.
Fact: AI models are energy-hungry. They need massive, stable power to run.
China: about 10,070 TWh (the largest producer in the world).
USA + India: about 6,500 TWh combined.
Bottom line: the energy gap is over 50%.
ChatGPT may be smarter, but it can’t run without electricity.
