China Is Spending Billions To Dethrone The U.S. In Race For The World’s Fastest Supercomputer

 

China is currently in the midst of a multi-billion dollar investment cycle to upgrade its supercomputer infrastructure in a bid to pass the United States for fastest supercomputer in the world after the United States regained the title for fastest supercomputer in 2018, ending a five-year reign of Chinese dominance.

As SCMP notes, China had been first on the global Top 500 list of supercomputers since the launch of Tianhe-2 in 2013. In June 2018, the U.S. Summit supercomputer bumped China from the number one spot.

China Paves Way to Global Dominance Resting on US Marshall Plan

While the US and Europe focus their efforts against the spread of Islamic State, China is skillfully mastering its way towards dominance in the global economy; the pattern is very similar to that of the Marshall Plan the US applied in Europe in the post-WWII years to counteract the Soviet influence, according to a French economist.

China is paving its way to dominance in the global economy very much based on the Marshall Plan the US used in Europe in the post-WWII years, French economist and lecturer in economics at the Pierre Mendes-France University in Grenoble Mylène Gaulard said in her interview with the Atlantico news website.

Gaulard explained that, similar to the US in Europe, China is now conquering foreign markets and gaining control over the developing countries of the South Asia.
