China’s Fiber Broadband Internet Approaches Nationwide Coverage; US Lags Severely

[Pretty Boy32]

Another example of China's dominance in the 21st century.

Another example of the weakness of the American right.

Who is winning in the information age? The question has been asked from many different perspectives, but one undeniable truth is that in the near future, economic development will be increasingly predicated on national access to robust, future-proofed internet infrastructure.

Many developed and developing countries seem to be fully aware of this, but perhaps none have the same level of ambition that has fueled China’s aggressive rollout strategy over the past seven years.

In 2013, 17 percent of consumers in both China and the U.S. had access to a fiber internet connection. Fast forward to 2019, China’s penetration has jumped to 86 percent while the U.S. is only at 25 percent.

While America continues to suffer from an immense digital divide, China’s government has made incredible progress building out a state-sponsored super network of fiber optic connections. This infrastructure will allow the country to take early advantage of some of the most impactful applications resulting from the fourth industrial revolution.

China is a leader in many things in the 21st century, from AI, surveillance, renewable energy investments to their internet grid.

'Unlike America, virtually all of the access points that make up the internet “backbone” in China are state-owned, with private providers only able to lease out bandwidth from the government. This complete control over the infrastructure has played a pivotal role in its expedient rollout, with the country investing billions of dollars into the project over the past two decades.

The communist government’s plans extend beyond its own borders as well; the Belt and Road Initiative includes plans for direct investment in infrastructure spanning nearly 70 different countries, potentially giving China a vice grip on internet innovation if left unchecked by the West.

CHINA LEADS IN 5G DEPLOYMENT AS WELL

China’s fiber infrastructure deployment is impressive in its own right, but providing wired services to Chinese citizens does not appear to be the only goal underpinning the concerted expansion efforts. The nation also has grand plans for 5G. The high-speed wireless service was activated in 50 major markets on November 1st, ahead of a scheduled 2020 launch. It is clear that this aggressive strategy is designed to help the nation become a trendsetter in technologies that will likely redefine humanity over the coming years.'

Dumb fat yanks.

People salivate at the thought of the USA not being the leading global power, even pansy Europeans, who would rather have Chinese communist rule over him than having American freedom ring over their submissive cuck countries.

Like I said in the other thread, everyone is in denial about China's dominance. All the backlash is about human rights etc... Way to go change the topic.

Like Trump? That's his (and Russia's) beliefs. And he's doing it.

Putting historically stiff tariffs on China, while simultaneously helping create one of the best economies in US history, is how you think Trump is making China stronger?

That's not what you said. Read what I quoted.

What you wrote is complete and utter nonsense.

What you wrote is complete and utter nonsense.

Trump's actions show he doesn't believe the US should be a superpower. He's an isolationist. Someone will fill the power vacuum left by the U.S. more than likely it's going to be China.

I've seen you agree with his isolationist stances. What's the problem?

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013 involving infrastructure development and investments in 152 countries and international organizations in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.[1][2]

The leader of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, originally announced the strategy during official visits to Indonesia and Kazakhstan in 2013. "Belt" refers to the overland routes for road and rail transportation, called "the Silk Road Economic Belt"; whereas "road" refers to the sea routes, or the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.[3]

Formerly known as One Belt One Road (OBOR) (Chinese: 一带一路, short for the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road (Chinese: 丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路 )[4]), it has been referred to as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) since 2016 when the Chinese government considered the emphasis on the word "one" was prone to misinterpretation.[5] However, “One Belt One Road" (Chinese: 一带一路) is still used in Chinese-language media.[6]

The Chinese government calls the initiative "a bid to enhance regional connectivity and embrace a brighter future".[7] Some observers see it as a push for Chinese dominance in global affairs with a China-centered trading network.[8][9] The project has a targeted completion date of 2049,[10] which coincides with the 100th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
