They grow food for their people

They seize the land from people who grow food for themselves, force people to buy food from them (which they in turn, buy overseas), and use the land to build never-finished / unstable ("tofu waste") infrastructure.

They've brought a large portion of their citizenry out of poverty.

and officials into billionaries.

They create electricity for businesses.

but stop power supply any time.

They invest all over the world.

and the officials earn money, while locals losing job.

ALL you talked about are for the benefits of the CCP / XJP. It's unintentional and unlucky for them that citizens and foreign countries benefitted, if any.

Comment Free Tier (Score 1) 22

Hate it or not, Oracle cloud has the most generous free tier that I know of. Highlights:
- 2 0.125 OCPU, 1GB-RAM x64 compute instances
- 4 Ampere core, 24GB RAM, assignable to up to 4 VM
- 2 block volumes, total 200GB (so at most 2 VM if you don't want to pay)
- 10TB egress per month
- 2 * 20GB Oracle 19c+ "autonomous" database. By "autonomous", it means stupid Oracle maintenance jobs will fill up the 20GB data in a few months, and you can't free that up.
(I am unable to create Ampere VM yet. Always getting "out of host capacity".)

Will Oracle kill free tier? Most probably. But as long as it is free, I am happy to use it
