It looks like it's only Chinese companies that can take on American cloud providers worldwide .Expect a lot of smearing and propaganda in the battle to control the future of compute globally.
News on China's scientific and technological development.

The register already did by painting alibaba cloud service as a data pipe going right to the chinese government. Without mentioning that the US has the exact same sort of regulation.
Difference being one goes straight to a democracy government, the other falls into the hands of an autocracy government.
sure. It's a lot more important for Alibaba and Huawei to expand in global south where Internet growth is still quite high. Especially in Asia. This is a major battleground. A lot of people that are gaining more wealth and starting to use internet. I think they will have a hard time in Western countries. It's unfortunately they started the expansion into clouds after Amazon already gained traction.
But there are areas like mobile payment that they are clearly ahead of American tech companies. What Alipay+ has been able to do is quite impressive. Now it has scale. If you want to access all the Asian tourists, then you need to allow Alipay+ or join that network as a partner. They just need a couple of more major partners in Europe, Africa and Latin America.
They already have partnered up with Thune and Worldline in Europe. But they can expand further.
you can bet it rives certain people crazy that 2 Chinese companies are the infrastructure where all these transactions are passing through.
this is hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
The software of this machine is incredibly complex too..

Pretty awesome. Anything to lessen patient suffering is a win.
Well, I wish the best. But we bought some medical equipments from China in the past year. While they are quite eager to help over WeChat, it was quite the trying time to get things to work correctly due to the long delivery times and lack of servicing people here in America.
hopefully once 0-COVID is over, Chinese companies will actually be able to send reps/tech support to rest of the world to sell medical equipment. The world needs it.
China's 'Explorer 2' research ship ends missions in South China Sea

China's scientific research vessel Explorer 2, carrying the 4,500-meter manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi (Deep-sea Warrior), returned to Sanya in south China's Hainan Province on Sunday, after completing its latest missions over the past 10 days.
Since setting off from Sanya on September 16, the ship with 60 scientific research staff aboard has completed in-situ observation of the deep-sea geological features and sea trial tasks of domestic equipment in the South China Sea.

With the 4,500-meter manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi, the team has completed in-situ observation of the areas surrounding the Shenhai-1, China's first self-run deep-sea gas field located 150 kilometers from Hainan Island, including its underwater mooring system and underwater production system, and obtained important data.

Meanwhile, the researchers conducted functional tests on self-developed scientific research devices carried by Shenhai Yongshi, including a sampler for deep-sea sediments and deep-sea three-dimensional sensing equipment.
China's new quantum satellite now operational

A Chinese micro-nano quantum satellite has entered its planned orbit and is now operational, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), one of its developers, said on Thursday.
It was launched atop a Lijian-1 carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Wednesday.
The low-orbit satellite was designed to conduct real-time quantum key distribution experiments between the satellite and ground station and to carry out technical verification.
The new micro-nano satellite's weight is about one-sixth the weight of the world's first quantum satellite, the Chinese satellite Micius, which weighs more than 600 kilograms, according to the USTC.
The university said that, based on the quantum technology first seen in Micius, it is clear that more low-cost quantum satellites are needed to realize an efficient, practical and global quantum communication network that can meet the increasing user demand.
The new satellite was jointly developed by Chinese universities and institutions such as the USTC, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Jinan Institute of Quantum Technology.
Its launch and in-orbit operations are expected to aid the country's quantum communication development and promote the improvement of national information security.

China started constructing the world's first "green hydrogen zero carbon fluidized bed iron smelter". It is for technology demo with the designed output capacity of 10k tonnes.
In July 2021, Ansteel Group and CAS started working together in R&D on the green hydrogen metallurgy technologies. They now have made major breakthrough and developed fully indigenous IP.
记者从钢铁央企鞍钢集团方面获悉，9月27日，鞍钢集团氢冶金项目开工仪式在鞍钢鲅鱼圈钢铁基地举行。该项目是全球首套绿氢零碳流化床高效炼铁新技术示范项目，具有完全自主知识产权。
鞍钢集团表示，该项目可实现低碳冶金新技术路线的突破并产业化，对助力我国钢铁工业绿色低碳创新发展具有重大意义。
钢铁行业是我国主要的能源消费及二氧化碳排放行业，二氧化碳排放量约占全国排放总量的15%。当前钢铁行业主要采用高炉—转炉冶炼技术路线，以煤炭为主体的能源结构，吨钢二氧化碳排放量约1.76吨，其中炼铁环节占70%以上。因此，发展低碳炼铁新技术，促进钢铁工业绿色低碳转型发展迫在眉睫。
为了实现低碳冶金新技术路线的突破，此前的2021年7月，鞍钢集团与中国科学院过程工程研究所、中国科学院大连化学物理研究所、上海大学签订了绿色氢能冶金技术联合研发协议。鞍钢集团方面表示，经过一年多的努力，终于实现了重大突破。
据了解，鞍钢集团氢冶金项目是全球首套绿氢零碳流化床高效炼铁新技术示范项目。该项目采用国际先进的电解水技术，实现绿氢规模化高效制备；开发流化床炼铁新技术，突破原料适用性和还原效率难题；集成关键技术，实现高金属化率直接还原铁的连续生产。
该项目计划于2023年投入运行，形成万吨级流化床氢气炼铁工程示范，为世界氢冶金技术发展提供“中国方案”。
