Another stop to Washington...

Washinton county! in Tennessee.
And as philipma1957 pointed out the issues are with the data center itself, how it was built, the noise it makes, it was earlier in the news

They actually offered them incentives to move here, they were ok with the mining, with everything but the company didn't do anything about the noise as it was previously agreed on.

It seems China wants to use the hardware for themselves as they can use it to mine bitcoin in their country, giving them more rewards.

Yeah indeed, and you have figured their evil plan!!
There are thousands of miners the CCP could have grabbed and seized with a court order back in April. but no, their plan is far more elaborate and more devilish, they are going to buy the miners by going door to door and asking people if they have a miner for sale.
China is cutting power in key economic sectors, forcing blackouts and driving industry number to corona levels activity and you think they care about bitcoin mining.

But, where is Jack-Ma now? I thought he is a modern & intelligent person. As he is crypto-friendly, he should have made a positive statement in this regard.

I think one forced 3-month "holiday" was enough for him, do you think he has the guts to try to defy the CCP again?
