There is this video doc from wired on YT, about how Shenzhen in China is the next SV, for the following reasons : the city is thriving, it has the highest number of high rises "in the history of mankind" (to quote that lady in the show), and because it has access to cheap cheap HW components, right down your office.
Just as comments below say, it takes more than having wide spread fast Internet access to be able to replicate the SV. It also takes more than having access to cheap HW components. It also takes more than having access to dirt cheap computer programmers. That's why Shenzhen is not the next SV, neither is New Delhi or Bangalore. Plus, in Shenzhen, I assume the State gov. maintains all the control it can over whatever is going on there. This goes against the SV start-up culture of freedom of entrepreneurship and freedom of thinking and freedom of capital circulation.
