Only if you don’t allow construction of local data centers

US has over 10x the number of data centers as China; and produces 2x more energy per capita than China.

what about energy consumption per capita?

What about it? Energy production basically has to equal energy consumption in the medium term, so if the grandparent comment is correct, it is 2x per capita.

Dunno how trustworthy this source is, but it says ~35 MWh/person in China and 77 MWh/person in USA.

I can name one big country that won't disallow data centers.
