Putting the human freedom issues aside, I don't see how Datacenter and Electricity production have much environmental or social concerns especially when they are built in mostly remote places. This isn't some manufacturing facility that leaks toxic substances into river. And China's annual solar installation rate is more than the rest of the world combined.
>Economically it might be more successful
Economics is what gives you power. US needs to wake up and start taking it seriously rather than feeling good about themselves being the best country in the world.

If they consider themselves the best country in the world they need to wake up anyway :) :) :)
Honestly, my boss approached me last year reminding me there was this company program about sponsorship for moving to the US (it is how he got there too) and I really had to make an effort not to laugh. Sure they will pay 3x as much as where I live but really, no. I'm very progressive, socialist, pro-LGBT etc. I would hate it there. I won't even fly there to visit at this point.
I would consider China for tourism much more at this point. They have this cyberpunk city I'd love to see. But thanks to Trump flying across the middle east is heavily disrupted so not this year.
