The article mentions the Saudis want a two reactor plant at 2.8 GW.
After a decade of nuclear discussions, the Saudis are pushing to award a contract for the Eastern Province plant, known as Duwaiheen—a two-reactor, 2.8-gigawatt facility—by the end of 2023 and eventually construct 16 reactors at a cost of some $80 billion to $100 billion.
That means each reactor is 1.4 GW. Hualong-1 is 1 GW.

i think China only offers Hualong-1 right now. CAP1400 would depend on American tech licensing maybe? I'm not sure. Longer term, I see Hualong-1 as the sanction proof solution.
Guohe One also completely 100 percent localized in 2023..

Guohe One, evolved from the AP1000 pressurized water reactor, developed from the Westinghouse original, is one of the latest achievements in China's nuclear power technology research and development and industrial innovation. The technology is China's most advanced, and independently developed third-generation nuclear technology..

that's possible. I had a discussion recently about this with David Fishman. There are reasons why CAP1400 only got 50% market share. For example, CGN can't operate CAP1400 due to being on entity list. Now, if China has 100% control over CAP1400, why would sanction on CGN matter here?

According to him at least, Chinese nuclear operators prefer CAP

Also note, no further CAP1400 will be approved until the demo reactor is complete and successful

CAP1400 supply chain 92 percent localized by 2022 and intend to be 100 percent by next year .. and we are in third quarter of 2023. i think 100 percent localization of CAP1400 completed or near completion ..

HW before HR recently wrote any entry and I looked into it. The idea is of Cambodia connecting directly to Laos rather than waiting on Thailand or Vietnam. This allows their goods to get into China faster

With this type of competition, the other 2 countries will be encouraged to connect to China sooner.

China cutting reliance on Australian iron ore and going with high grade stuff from Guinea, which could also make use of the deep sea port built a Lekki, Nigeria

Again, 56% of China's bauxite comes from Guinea
In addition, the source countries of domestic bauxite imports are relatively concentrated. In 2022, the top three import source countries of bauxite imports are Guinea (56%), Australia (27%), and Indonesia (15%). These three countries imported more than 98% of all imported bauxite.

So very important to keep developing this relationship

I don't think there's anything wrong with Ethiopia though. Even the irrelevant and small nations should seek collective economical and later military security with China. It's the writing on the wall.

For China to turn the world away, would be a grave mistake and irresponsibility towards it's international role.

And Ethiopia is hardly that small or irrelevant. If nothing else, they're populous and circulate agricultural goods.

Including opens up the possibility to tie in more East African nations.

The thing is rejecting Algeria is because of India. Algeria and china always be good partnerships which India can't tolerate.
