Faster: Consular Filing in China or Filing in the USA?

Which is faster: filing a petition for a greencard/immigration visa for a spouse in China (the petitioner and beneficiary both living in China) or the petitioner filing in the USA while the beneficiary is living in China?

If the petitioner is living in China long-term and qualifies for Direct Consular Filing in China (at the Guangzhou consulate), that would be faster than filing the petition with USCIS in the US.

This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
