Most powerful Supercomputer is in China

Per The Register - China takes HPC heavyweight title. The computer includes 14,336 Xeon processors and 7,168 of Nvidia's Tesla M2050 fanless GPU co-processors

Two points of view:

A. It shows that the Chinese government wants China's to become a technology power house.

B. Its easy to create a powerful supercomputer (just add more processors).  Hardware has become a commodity.  What is key is the software and in this area India is leading in general.
