China seems to have a tendency towards big, high-profile projects that they can use to project a narrative of technological superiority but don't fit into any kind of useful overall strategy. I wouldn't be surprised if they build a bunch of these, brag about how advanced it makes them, and then just carry on building and using coal as the workhorse of their power grid. This wouldn't work nearly so well in a country with a free presss.
