I wonder if it will have a Yoshinoya:

One of America’s top billionaires is backing the construction of a 15-minute city in the middle of the American West desert, called Telosa.
The city, which is the brainchild of former Walmart president Marc Lore, hopes to have five million residents by 2050, and would be built using sustainable, eco-friendly structures. While no set timeline for construction has been announced, the project has said that the first residents will be “ready to move in 2030.”
Concept images of the city show futuristic cable-car systems, miles of greenhouses and solar panels, and the city’s centrepiece skyscraper, the Equitism Tower. Cars that use traditional fossil fuels for power will be banned in the city.
The city would start out with a population of 50,000 people, before growing to reach five million. Lore aims to build Telosa in Appalachia, or the American West desert, on cheap land.
Build it on Chinese-owned land.
Walmart has been the major US outlet for Chinese consumer goods for decades. Combining ownership of consumer housing, transportation, utilities etc. with ownership of the land they sit on and the distribution (and perhaps the manufacture) of its consumer goods would be a great leap forward towards the total vertical integration of China, Inc. activities in such a city. The site could be chosen from among the agricultural lands they own near empty military bases in order to provide both the city’s food and its police. With a few Chinese drones overhead and satellites above them, the total Chinese ownership and control of the city and its residents would be complete.
