Tensions in Asia

“China must resolutely hit back,” said China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi, referring to what Beijing sees as a potential Japanese military threat regarding Taiwan.

What would become of the global tech industry if a war broke out over Taiwan ?

An identity crisis for 🇪🇺 ?
After a rather failed attempt to attract (US) chips manufacturers, the UE is struggling to find its place in the supply chain and reckoning with the new weapons of the technological competition, like export controls, "which aren't yet part of Brussels' repertoire."

Le sommet sur la souveraineté numérique européenne a lieu aujourd’hui 18/11 à Berlin. 800 européens seront présents 🇪🇺 : représentants des institutions, d’entreprises, la société civile et la commission européenne. Les sujets traités seront : compétitivité, souveraineté et innovation européenne.

Zoom : 🇺🇸 data-centers and who pays for them ? Aside the environmental cost, data-centers have a financial cost too. In the USA questions arise about those informational hubs and their local effects, through their actual tax incomes or their energy demands. ⤵️
First where are those data-centers ?
