China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

Come on mate, internet in Australia is pretty shit after the NBN fiasco. Let me know when any of those those 100gbps lines reach 1gbps xD.

BRB moving to China

Small time server admins?

That's cool, but all the important stuff doesn't take much.

So they received money for something they didn't do. They should pay those back.

They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship.
This sentence feels so Soviet.

Yeah, hate that the world views him as not a dictator, at least formally, but I don't make the rules.

Not just this one. But I think you are overestimating such improvements over strategic ones that the US is still doing more. Say, Starlink really turning into some sort of planetary cell network.

High speed internet behind the Great Firewall sounds wonderful. It would be like rapid public transit behind the iron curtain. You can go quickly and conveniently to any dim, depressing place we let you go.

The article you linked describes plans reaching up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps).
That's only 2% of the speed of the theoretical 50Gbps maximum OP's article discusses (and 10% of the 10Gbps real-world speeds currently available in China according to the same article). I think you have your units mixed up.

KC starts the beta for 50gig next month.

Do you really believe everything in the USSR was dim and depressing? Do you also think everything is Mexico is tinted yellow?

That's the thing, it's hard to imagine what we'll use it for until it's available.

Getting real tired of these „China is 30 years ahead of us“ clickbait headlines on an almost daily basis. They‘re always completely overblown and sadly really warp the public perception of the country and their government.
