This surely can't be true. Germany, a primitive country in terms of digital connectivity ahead of China? Seriously??
Can someone post more relevant data from the Chinese documents.
First thing that.jumps out to me is they don't mention size or compute capacity of the data center anywhere. If I only have 1 data center but it contains 1 TWh of compute and you have 5000 center each with 50 MWh of compute, who's ahead?

The USD has good purchasing power for imported goods. Ever wonder why Gen Z could afford phones/gaming consoles and other “luxuries” but not essentials like housing and groceries?

Don’t worry though, Trump is about to take that away too via tariffs!

Here's a question for all the American forumites here:

Do you really think US groceries are expensive? I actually find it to be much cheaper than Canadian groceries, especially when we take into account the fact that US salaries are generally higher than Canadian salaries.

Do you get taxed to the same degree though? I barely bring 3/4 of my income home. Then you get sales tax, property tax, HOA fee, mortgage (if you are lucky) and out of pocket expenses even after paying a lot for health insurance.

Jesus man, we get taxed way more in Canada. Where do you think we get the money for universal healthcare? Sales tax is 13% over here. You think 3/4 is bad? I can't even get 2/3 of my pay after taxes.
