Where China could order battlecruisers in 1913

Could the Republic of China build proposed battlecruisers in 1913, or would it need foreign yards?

It would need British or American yards, with Britain offering the strongest concentration of suitable construction capacity.

A 1913 Republic of China battlecruiser program would exceed domestic construction experience and yard capacity. The ships were too large and technically demanding for China to build in the required number. Britain and the United States possessed the necessary infrastructure, with Britain offering the larger concentration of experienced yards at that date. China could split an order between the two countries, but it could not avoid reliance on foreign construction.
