In case of China, after Fukushima they decided to suspend generation 2 reactors and only build generation 3 reactors. But that didn't go smoothly and there were lots of delays. By the time generation 3 was ready, the trade war hit and a bunch of Chinese nuclear companies got blacklisted by the US. So they had to ditch foreign IP (French designs) and create their own IP (Hualong One) which also took time. These 150 reactors we see today are the end of a long pipeline.
