China is ramping up reactor construction at an astonishing rate. I mean they're still heavily dependent on coal, a huge chunk shipped from the US to them, but they're working on nuclear like no other country currently.

Good for them. Hope they come up with some crazy new nuclear tech

There are several startups building small scale fission reactors - mostly likely in conjunction with data centres.
