Re: Expanding into China (data center info required)

[Tom Vest <tvest () eyeconomics com>]

Hi Pascal, 

A friendly fyi from a former China and HK surveyor and colocator:

Topologically, China and Hong Kong are not the same place at all; in fact for some/many requirement-site pairings, Hong 
Kong may not not even be the closest place to China.

I don't think it's possible to be both sufficiently-informed about operating conditions in the region and completely 
ambivalent about the China vs. HK choice at the same time.

Best of luck with your search,
