There hasn't been any credible reporting on this so far. It's far more likely people are just mad that they have to pay for the AI boom both literally via increased electricity rates and via increased noise, water shortage and construction related pollution caused by the data centers.

If it were true that data centers are building "American dynamism" and China wants to suppress that, surely they would be building data centers the way they build trains.

They're not. And that should make you go hmmm.

I see the inscrutable Chinese have left you without any specifics.
