The top Chinese based supercomputer requires twice the power and 6 times the number of cores.
The next requires three times the power and 3 times the cores to produce 60% of the number two supercomputer.
Seems like it's a case of "increase operational friction".

Considering the resources of the government entities that own and operate them.
