  • I wonder about the legal implications of that

    For example, does this give the Chinese government the legal privilege of demanding any info MS might have on subversive activities by Chinese expats, even if the data aren't hosted on servers physically located in China?

    • legal

      The legal implication is that China and Chinese being fellow human being has the right to its own data, information and ethnic dignity. Not the defamation, spins and lies level to them by your 'democratic' presidential election candidate.

      • And what does that have to do with my post?

        Does this mean that the Chinese government has the right to any and all data on Chinese citizens, regardless of where they live? Or does it just have the right to be free of criticism from ignorant foreigners like myself?

  • Why overseas?

    FedEx just completed a huge datacenter in Colorado, on the foothills of the Rockies. Takes advantage of the cooling provided by the climate.

    • I bet the network latency from anywhere in China to Colorado and back

      made it not a great choice for serving Chinese customers. Plus they dont have to worry about the obama electricity tax.

    • Just for your information

      Just for your information there are over one billion human being in China. Human the same as those in USA. They also have the right to accurate data not corrupted by USA, CIA, Google and western media.

      • Chinese Secret Police

        But snooped over by the Chinese Secret Police. The US only has one Political/Terror Internment Camp In Guantanamo Bay, though compliant with US Military Law. How many Political Gulag's do Chinese Communist Party lacky's run in China ?
      • Of course they do

        The question is, do Chinese, or any other country's citizens have the right to access data, "corrupted or not", not approved by their governments, but otherwise publicly available?

  • What's a football pitce?

  • PLA and Microsoft

    Does the PLA own 50 percent of Microsoft or does Microsoft earn 50 percent of the PLA ? Maybe they are one and the same, it all ends in Cybergeddon.
