Yes; and in no small part because of Chinese propaganda efforts. C.f. https://www.axios.com/2026/08/28/china-ai-data-center-backla... for example. Hmm I wonder why?

I think it is not smart to export data centers if you are the US. Data sovereignty, compute sovereignty, exporting your dollars, and probably a lot more is something not to take so lightly.
