Amazon To Invest $9B In Singapore Cloud Infrastructure, Doubling Its Current Investment
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has announced a $9 billion investment in expanding its cloud computing infrastructure in Singapore. This decision comes as part of a broader trend of global tech companies increasing their presence in Southeast Asia.
亚马逊公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AMZN）宣布投资90亿美元，用于扩大其在新加坡的云计算基础设施。这一决定是全球科技公司扩大在东南亚的影响力的更广泛趋势的一部分。
What Happened: The $9 billion investment will be carried out over the next four years and will effectively double Amazon Web Services' current investment in Singapore. The expansion aims to meet the growing demand for cloud services and accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
发生了什么：这笔90亿美元的投资将在未来四年内进行，实际上将使亚马逊网络服务目前在新加坡的投资翻一番。彭博社周二报道，此次扩张旨在满足对云服务不断增长的需求，并加速人工智能的采用。
With this move, AWS joins other tech giants such as Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in expanding their presence in Southeast Asia. These companies are diversifying their investments away from China, amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions with the U.S.
通过这一举措，AWS与微软公司（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）和苹果公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）等其他科技巨头一起扩大了其在东南亚的业务。在与美国持续的地缘政治紧张局势中，这些公司正在将投资分散到中国以外的地方。
Earlier this year, AWS announced plans to invest approximately $35 billion outside the U.S., including in Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. The company is also establishing clusters of data centers in Malaysia and Thailand.
今年早些时候，AWS宣布计划在美国境外投资约350亿美元，包括在日本、沙特阿拉伯和墨西哥。该公司还在马来西亚和泰国建立数据中心集群。
Why It Matters: This significant investment by Amazon in Singapore is part of a larger trend of tech companies expanding their presence in Southeast Asia. Just last week, Microsoft announced a $2.2 billion investment in Malaysia's cloud and AI services, its largest investment in the country in 32 years. This move by Amazon further underscores the region's growing importance as a tech hub.
为何重要：亚马逊在新加坡的这项重大投资是科技公司扩大在东南亚业务的更大趋势的一部分。就在上周，微软宣布对马来西亚的云和人工智能服务进行22亿美元的投资，这是32年来在该国的最大一笔投资。亚马逊的这一举动进一步凸显了该地区作为科技中心的重要性日益增强。
Meanwhile, Apple has been deepening its involvement with China while expanding its production in Southeast Asia and India. Despite the challenges faced by Apple in China, the company continues to see the region as a crucial part of its global strategy.
同时，苹果一直在深化与中国的合作，同时扩大其在东南亚和印度的产量。尽管苹果在中国面临挑战，但该公司仍然将该地区视为其全球战略的重要组成部分。
Earlier this year, Google Cloud executives also recognized Singapore's potential as a leading global AI hub, attributing its success to a conducive environment for innovation and robust public-private partnerships.
今年早些时候，谷歌云高管们还认识到新加坡作为全球领先的人工智能中心的潜力，将其成功归因于有利的创新环境和强大的公私伙伴关系。
