I will laugh if Chinese efforts get tagged by law enforcement as pot grow farms, since these days utilities report to law enforcement of high power usage unless industrial.
However a mining farm will need higher power levels than home wiring can sustain so the miners will lease industrial spaces anyway.
Another factor is that the miners will ship their expensive rigs over rather than buy new which may not be physically possible what with shortages. But these will be held up in customs for awhile and may not be available by mid July.
