Why Chima Came Up Short in Nuclear Exports
China dominates domestically with 60 reactors and a growing pipeline, yet its export push for the 1,100 MW Hualong One and 1,400 MW CAP1400 has stalled.

Geopolitical concerns, financing demands and technology‑transfer restrictions have limited China’s ability to capture overseas market share.
