If that's true, is there any cheap compute provider leveraging the low cost and providing service to customers abroad?

If you can hack these data centers you can even get the compute for free. How good are these Chinese centers at cyber-security?

Probably not entirely secure. We had things like this happening: https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/leaked-data-exposes-a-chinese-ai-censorship-machine/

But they're not stupid. They have scientists, IT experts... And I'd think twice before going head-to-head with the Chinese authorities.
