The article mentions Turkey as well, using Russian tech. When a NATO country chooses nuclear tech from the country that brought us Chernobyl, the US is definitely asleep at the wheel.
China has started exporting their Hualong One reactor with at least two Pakistani Nuclear Power Stations building a total of 5 Hualong One reactors: Karachi and Chashma.
Argentina is expected to start building a Hualong One reactor by next year and it is under consideration in the United Kingdom.

If it goes anything like their buildout of high speed railway China would probably end up doubling the reactor capacity built by 2035 over this plan.
