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.
亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）宣佈投資90億美元，用於擴大其在新加坡的雲計算基礎設施。這一決定是全球科技公司擴大在東南亞的影響力的更廣泛趨勢的一部分。
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.
發生了什麼：這筆90億美元的投資將在未來四年內進行，實際上將使亞馬遜網絡服務目前在新加坡的投資翻一番。彭博社週二報道，此次擴張旨在滿足對雲服務不斷增長的需求，並加速人工智能的採用。
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.
通過這一舉措，AWS與微軟公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）和蘋果公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL）等其他科技巨頭一起擴大了其在東南亞的業務。在與美國持續的地緣政治緊張局勢中，這些公司正在將投資分散到中國以外的地方。
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.
今年早些時候，AWS宣佈計劃在美國境外投資約350億美元，包括在日本、沙特阿拉伯和墨西哥。該公司還在馬來西亞和泰國建立數據中心集群。
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.
爲何重要：亞馬遜在新加坡的這項重大投資是科技公司擴大在東南亞業務的更大趨勢的一部分。就在上週，微軟宣佈對馬來西亞的雲和人工智能服務進行22億美元的投資，這是32年來在該國的最大一筆投資。亞馬遜的這一舉動進一步凸顯了該地區作爲科技中心的重要性日益增強。
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.
同時，蘋果一直在深化與中國的合作，同時擴大其在東南亞和印度的產量。儘管蘋果在中國面臨挑戰，但該公司仍然將該地區視爲其全球戰略的重要組成部分。
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.
今年早些時候，谷歌雲高管們還認識到新加坡作爲全球領先的人工智能中心的潛力，將其成功歸因於有利的創新環境和強大的公私夥伴關係。
