1.) China is not communist, even remotely so. China is fascist in every sense of the word.
2.) Authoritarianism can move faster than anything. They can just say "wipe out that village, build the coal plant there, data center here, fab here.
3.) If it's red tape and regulation holding the US back, then that's clearly not "capitalism."

All of their fabrication ability is based on old processes.
