Hey there! Did you know that the internet doesnโt just travel through the air or satellites? ๐โจ In fact, over 99% of intercontinental data zooms around the world through submarine cables deep under the ocean waves! ๐๐ก
On March 25th, China released a report about its role in building and protecting these amazing undersea cables. One of the coolest projects is the SEA-H2X submarine cable system, which connects the Chinese mainland with countries like the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and more! ๐บ๏ธ๐ค
Imagine fiber-optic cables as thin as a strand of hair, stretching thousands of kilometers along the ocean floor. They carry all our texts, video calls, game data, and internet browsing across continents at lightning speed! โก๐ฌ๐ฎ
These undersea cables are like the secret highways of the internet, making it possible for you to chat with friends on the other side of the world or watch videos from anywhere! ๐๐ฑ
China’s involvement in these projects helps to connect even more people globally, making our world feel a little bit smaller and a lot more connected. Isn’t that amazing? ๐คฉ๐
