China spends less than 1/20th on data centers compared to the US. I doubt that this is something of great concern to them. Since the vast majority of funds spent by the US on data centers is an obscene waste of effort and money with no realistic ROI... they are more likely to celebrate this stupidity.
The person who spread this nonsense is Kevin O’Leary who claimed without releasing any believable evidence that local opposition to his monstrosity was funded by the CCP. And of course many people naturally accept this type of nonsense as gospel.
The opposition to data centers often cites as evidence a book that erroneously skewed data by a factor of 1,000 because the author misread and misreported study of a single old data center in Chile.
Opposition constantly cites fake info on water usage, because they are unable to distinguish between water that has been diverted water and consumed water, and claim that diverted water- which is returned unharmed to its source - is the same thing as losing the water. That’s either ignorance or pure scare tactics.
Less than 1/20th of what?
How would you or anyone else who isn’t a member of the CCP even know what figures the CCP puts out are accurate? Nobody has provable, accurate data out of China. It’s a secretive society with a government controlled by one party which routinely places people in prison camps because of their alleged religious beliefs, and every business over there is by law run by the PLA. Whistleblowers get shot.
Anyone who has paid even the slightest attention over the years should know China is intensely active in sabotaging as well as stealing US tech, especially but not by any means limited to AI. Just following the topic of Huawei alone is enough of a clue.
You sound like all those people who downplayed the spying going on in the auS nuclear program and defended the Rosenbergs.
Good ‘ol Kev acting falsely in his own interest? Oh tell me it isn’t so. I am shocked! Shocked I tell you!
