China's grid has had some serious issues over the past decade that didn't get widely reported for all the reasons you can think of. Some of them were exasperated by poor planning and censorship making it hard to hold anybody accountable. Not to say that they don't/didn't eventually work on it, but there was a widely held belief that the people at the top weren't even aware of the issue until foreign firms were directly impacted. This is not to say they can't or won't expand come hell or high water, though.
