标题：Token Going Global: Selling China's Electricity to the World via AI Compute

正文：In the summer of 1858, a copper-core cable crossed the Atlantic seabed, connecting London and New York. The signiícance of this event was never about transmission speed, but about power structures: whoever laid the submarine cable could skim value from the îow of information. Over 160 years later, this logic is repeating itself in an unexpected way. In 2026, Chinese large language models are quietly capturing the global developer market.According to the latest OpenRouter data, Chinese models account for 61% of Token consumption among the platform’s top ten models, with the top three entirely Chinese.

知识点：copper-core adj. /ˈkɒpə kɔː/
having a center made of copper 铜芯的
• The írst transatlantic telegraph line was a copper-core cable,heavy and prone to failure.  第⼀条跨⼤西洋电报线是铜芯电缆，笨重且容易故障。
• Before íber optics, the world relied on copper-core wires for longdistance communication.  在光纤出现之前，全球依赖铜芯线缆进⾏⻓途通信。
