Faster

China has announced that they now have the world's fastest computer. "At its peak, the computer can perform around 93,000 trillion calculations per second," something like 30% faster than America's fastest.

"Considering that just 10 years ago, China claimed a mere 28 systems on the [TOP500 global supercomputer listing], with none ranked in the top 30, the nation has come further and faster than any other country in the history of supercomputing . . ” 

This level of technology will probably be used in "new weapon technology, medicine, and cyber security." 

"It’s a breakthrough for China’s attempts to reduce dependence on imported technology."
